Whatever winter holiday you might honor or tradition you might practice, December is a month where we mark another cycle around the sun and celebrate it through art and cultural practices. Integral to our ceremonies and our family gatherings are the art, music, dance, theater, crafts and poetry we share. These are our offerings to each other. Whether your stories are told through intimate family folktales, hand-crafted gifts, stunning visual imagery or grand performances, this is the season for spinning magic.
We love those classic Christmas recordings. And we cherish the chance to hear Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Barbra Streisand, the Beach Boys, Darlene Love and other greats sing these standards each and every Christmas season. Yet, we also like to spice things up and add some new voices to our holiday playlist. Thankfully, we never have any shortage of contenders trying to make the cut.
