What are ornaments but treasures on a tree? And what would the holidays be without sentimental and inspirational moments, family and friends gathered together, spiritual messages related to the birth of Jesus, and magical tales of Father Winter and Santa and the whimsical Snow Queen? These new, original songs about such Holiday Treasures include a variety of vocal and instrumental works that range in style from contemporary ballad and show tune to the Medieval.
