“Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts.”

-Janice Maeditere

It’s almost Christmas time. What are your plans? Are you excited? I realize as time goes on that Christmas never gets old but, I am getting older.

You would be pleasantly surprised to see how much MUSIC MATTERS during the holiday season. I can feel Christmas in the air when I hear the temptations croon, “Silent Night.”
