“I think most of us have happy memories of Christmas and other holidays. Hearing holiday songs that are ingrained in your memory can engage your mind in a way that creates a roadblock for thoughts that cause us pain and stress. Holiday songs and music in general can provide a respite from the turmoil in the world. I believe that music, more than anything, can help us find a common denominator amid all the polarization that poisons our minds and souls. So with that in mind, I want to wish everyone happy holidays!”
