It's one of my all-time favorite Christmas tunes. Maybe it's because my middle name has "Mary" in it - or maybe it's because I've always wondered what it would be like to try to parent Jesus. What kind of special issues would Mary have to deal with? Could she possibly have any clue how the legend of her child would change the face of the world? I hope you and yours have had a blessed holiday season. I'll be doing a bunch of studio moving over the next week, and then it's MY BIRTHDAY, so there may or may not be any new videos next week... it all depends on whether or not we get the studio set up complete.
Fingers crossed!
But after the studio

December is always a whirlwind for me. Holiday shows, the annual Give-back campaign, and my oldest son's birthday. This year, he turned 18! Now that my eldest is officially an adult, we can focus on "the other" holidays this month: Christmas and New Year's Eve!
This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. I was lucky enough to be able to share it at a Christmas sing-along for a local church last week. I've got a couple more songs from that event I'll be sharing this week, but the jingle bell hat was super timely for the Sunday before Christmas. Just a few days left, and we're STILL shopping.
Do you have the holidays handled yet? What are YOU hoping to get for Christmas this year?

Judy Garland is one of my all-time faves. I don't sing a lot of her music, but two songs I love are The Man That Got Away and this song - both songs debuted by Judy in one of her films. This song is from" Meet Me in St. Louis" and has had a few lyric changes since the original was written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane. Regardless, it's a timeless holiday song, and all you could ask for any year - to have a Merry Christmas.

This weekend, I was invited to do a short set for a local non-profit holiday party. So Des and I dusted off the road gear and delighted the ladies with a few Christmas favorites. Here's one I've not shared previously: Irving Berlin's 1940's classic "White Christmas."
It's fitting, since last week I did "Rudolph" and those two songs are the biggest selling Christmas songs of all time (White Christmas is #1).
It's still green here in Michigan, albeit cold - hanging in the mid
Wherever you are in the world, I hope your December is full of warmth and good cheer.
