Your Daily Dose of Christmas
On the penultimate night of the Christmas season, here is an entire album, which is one of my favorite listens this time of year. We’re almost there! Christmas is almost here!
Your Daily Dose of Christmas
I’m not a terribly big fan of Mannheim Steamroller’s Christmas music, but this setting of “Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella” is quite lovely.

Your Daily Dose of Christmas (Saturday edition)
