Christmas/Holiday music is already filling the air, everywhere you go, and it's not even Thanksgiving yet. As for me, I am resisting until the end of the month, at least. In fact, I'm working on a special non-Christmas themed show for Thanksgiving weekend. For today, however, I dug through my stacks and found some lovely gems, new and old, to brighten your Sunday morning. Enjoy!
