OT: Favorite Christmas Songs

[Scarlet Jerry]

I loved the sound of handbells at Christmas, and I couldn’t find a Christmas album that features that sound, so a few years ago I decided to produce and record a Christmas album that featured - you guessed it - the sound of handbells!

According to the analytics from Apple Music and Spotify, my traditional Christmas album has a large audience of followers in Japan! You can listen to the album for free on YouTube:

Thanks Source - love those bells! I wonder if they recorded an album as well. I wanted to record another Christmas album this year, this time featuring music boxes. I didn’t have enough time (when I did the handbells album, I learned that Christmas albums are recorded in August - I didn’t do mine until November!).

A few years ago, I made a video of Christmas scenes in New York using music from the album. It shows NYC Christmas events, before the pandemic. Here is the video:

I'm pretty sure there's a big, wide-open market for good Hanukah songs. When you have to rely on Adam Sandler.... well... that's just pathetic.

Two that choke me up every time I hear
