A wistful one from The Mountains and The Trees:
Said the Whale’s Christmas Under the Clouds gives us a typical Vancouver Christmas (no idea why the accompanying image shows snow, though):
Finally, a new tune from Dan Mangan, with lyrics crowdsourced from listeners of CBC’s On The Coast:
What are your favourite seasonal songs? Let me know in the comments, if you’d like.

Merry Christmas, Teresa!
We are in the middle of a Christmas special spectacular – who knew that so many Christmas cartoons were ever made!
Merry Christmas, Cher! A Christmas special spectacular sounds like a perfect holiday treat!
I enjoyed listening to your favorites so much. I have so many Christmas songs that I enjoy listening to this time of year, but probably the two that top the list are Silent Night and White Christmas. I hope your Christmas was a lovely and peaceful one. Thank you so much for your beautiful card and the recipe. I am so curious to try it.
