A Journey to Christmas
As my friends and family will attest, winter is absolutely one of my favorite seasons. I enjoy the cold, the snow (which we never get enough of), and especially Christmas!! For me the excitement always begins on the first day of winter. This CD was put together as a musical journey, keeping all of the activities of this week in mind. All of the songs were written or arranged around things you might see, do, hear, or even possibly feel during this Holy week, eventually culminating on Christmas Day and ending the day after when many of us have to "go home."
