Merry Christmas

My family's holiday traditions are firmly rooted in our Swedish and German heritage. Christmas was (and is) a big deal, the anticipation heightened by observing the season of Advent and music being an important part of our observance of the holidays.

Whether you observe the passing of the darkest days of winter and the coming of more light; the Coming of the Light of the world; the miracle of light lasting for 8 days; or however you mark this time of the year, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

In keeping with my family's traditions, I thought I would share two of my favorite carols with you.





Wishing you light, peace, and love.
