Since I’ve been penned up for the last 30 hours or so, I decided to bring a different show than usual to you.

It’s a blizzard here in NYC!  They’re expecting about 20 inches of snow or more by the time it’s over!

So, let’s let the music follow, right?  Most of this music is soft & snowy, too.  But, some simply evokes the spirit of the day. A snow day!  Remember a “snow day?”

Enjoy!

This year’s Christmas show is unique & yet, a lot of it is the same.  You can still hear the entire original Nat King Cole Christmas record – long since out of print – in its entirety here.  You can also hear some lovely singer/songwriters do their takes on more modern winter songs & a few of my choice Irish traditional Christmas music, too.

But, as it is, week-in week-out, this show is mostly dedicated to traditional Christmas music from my childhood.

I love them all & I hope you do, too.

May you ALL have a Happy & Merry season!

This week’s show is another special one for me & for Jennifer.

Ireland has meant so much to us both over the years – her trip when she was a little girl & our trips together through the years.

So, this year’s show is a reflection of that emotion.  It’s long, but it’s beautiful – just like its inspiration.

Enjoy!
