Hi world!
This is a really cruisy album for relieving the stress and anxiety of the Christmas season. I'm writing from New Zealand, where December is end-of-year functions, rain, summer holiday plans, rain, trying to keep the garden in control, endless barbecues (in the rain) and all the bustle of Christmas shopping on top of everything else. So it's nice to have this gentle reminder of the peace and good will we ought to be celebrating but mostly don't have time for. *sigh*
And I love the jazzy cool treatments!
Aw my darling daughter what a joy you've been to me! Now the rest of the world can enjoy your talents and your charm. ;)
