Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

This album spans roughly a decade of songwriting. It's been my tradition to write a holiday song a year for some time now. Some years, that may mean Christmas, winter, or another holiday that lands within this timeframe.

Thematically, every song is set in this holiday season, but what each song explores varies a lot. Depending on what you've been going through, Christmas can be a time of joy, or a time of great sorrow. This album explores a wide range of experiences, in the hopes that you can find something you relate to, regardless of what the holiday season means to you personally.
