There are so many things I enjoy during the holidays: family, friends, and of course food, but an extremely big part for me is the Christmas music. For thirty years I sang at my church’s Christmas Eve service. What a magical service. It was always a highlight for me; my way of giving back to the church by sharing my love of singing with everyone. Since that doesn’t happen anymore and since this is the first time in 37 years that I’m not producing an elementary school Christmas concert (mixed feelings there) I’ll share some Christmas songs that I enjoy. This barely scratches the surface of my favourite seasonal music. Enjoy!
