HOLIDAY MUSIC

I love holiday music! So I've created a playlist of all the holiday songs I've recorded to date. I'll probably add some more each holiday season!

Have Yourself a Merry Little ChristmasHave Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is one of my favorite Christmas songs. For me (starting with Judy Garland's original film version), it has always been an emotion-filled song, by turns joyful, playful, nostalgic, and wistful — so that is how I sing it here.  
It Doesn't Have To Be That Way — My cover of Jim Croce's tender Christmas love song, It Doesn't Have To Be That Way.  
I'll Be Home For ChristmasI'll Be Home For Christmas is a beautiful Christmas song, and another of my favorites. It touched the hearts of so many soldiers far from home in World War II, when Bing Crosby first sang the song in 1943. And it continues to touch everyone whose heart is moved by the Christmas vision of warmth, togetherness, light, and love.  
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! — I'm singing Let It Snow! to a wonderful, high-energy, big band karaoke arrangement, based on Michael Buble's version of the song. A lot of fun to sing and play around with my voice, especially when I completely let loose at the end.  
Merry Christmas Darling — My cover of The Carpenters' beautiful Christmas song, Merry Christmas Darling. Karen Carpenter has always been one of my favorite singers. I learned an enormous amount about singing by listening to her decades ago, and I'm taking my cues from her as I sing this song. I love Richard Carpenter's musically rich song — full of wonderful key and chord changes — and instrumentally arranged in a classical style with lush harmonies.  
The Christmas Song — I love the music of the holiday season, and felt in the mood to sing one of my favorite songs for Christmas Eve (2023).
