A Holiday Message from Music Together in Phoenix

The joy of the seasons are here; lights twinkling, bell ringers around town and Santa's o' plenty. All of us at Music Together in Phoenix send thoughts for joy & peace, celebration and fun to your family!

Music is an essential part of many holiday traditions. When we share the music that we enjoy with our children, it can be like a heirloom. Our favorite holiday songs and traditions will be what our children pass along to their children. Precious memories are made when trimming the tree, lighting the menorah or baking cookies together while singing favorite holiday songs. These connections are locked deep in our little ones' hearts.

My family has a silly tradition of hiding a pickle ornament inside our Christmas tree. Last year, we never found it until the tree went down. My daughter was proud of her hiding talents (I think she possibly hid it in her bedroom). We always listen to the Charlie Brown X-mas CD as we are decorating. This year, I put on my new Mindy Smith, but my family changed it back to Charlie Brown.

May you have many magical moments of merriment with your loved ones this season!
