Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the countdown.

Merry Christmas to all. Have a wonderful holiday however you choose to spend it. I hope you enjoyed the 2023 edition of 25 Days Of Christmas Music. It was a pleasure to share them with you.

Here is my message from 2020 which I feel is just as relevant now:  

I usually reserve “Joy To The World” for today, and despite the fact that it is indeed a joyous holiday, for this year I thought a song about peace would serve us all better. For our minds & bodies, for our hearts and spirits, for our country & our world, may “peace on earth, good will towards men” begin on this Christmas Day and await us all in the new year.

Thank you for being here over the last 12 months. I truly appreciate it. All the best in 2024.

Until next time, happy listening!!!
