Ken Kessler from the Sounds of Christmas thanks you for listening to this podcast and to the Sounds of Christmas station, and reminds you that both will be continuing, year-round, through all of 2022. Whenever you need a Christmas music fix, or some Christmas Spirit, the Sounds of Christmas will be there for you!

Ken Kessler from the Sounds of Christmas reminds you that the Twelve Days Of Christmas actually come AFTER CHRISTMAS! He talks about this, the origin (and changes of the song “The Twelve Days Of Christmas”) and how it’s used to compute the True Cost Of Christmas. Most importantly, he wants you to know you don’t have to stop listening to Christmas music, just because the calendar date for Christmas has passed.

Ken Kessler from the Sounds of Christmas talks about Eddie Money’s Christmas music, and the new song from his kids, Jesse Money and Dez Money, where they have rewritten lyrics to his song “Everybody Loves Christmas” to reflect on spending Christmas without him.
