A bit about this song: We recorded "Merry Christmas To You" back in the summer of 2012. It was really fun to record the song with some first rate musician friends: Ann Klein, Tomek Miernowski, and Dave Scalia.
I wanted to write a Christmas song that invoked the spirit of the holiday without it being too religious, so people of varying faiths might be able to relate to it, too. The song focuses on the generosity and playfulness of the season, giving a suggestion of magic or even miracles.
I’ve long wanted to create a music video featuring vintage cartoon animal imagery to communicate the energy of these warm community gatherings filled with peace, love, and harmony at Christmastime. But my search for an animator to convey this imagery kept hitting a dead end.
Then, my talented musician friend Johnny Jake posted online a few music videos that he had created. I asked if he might be able to help me with this project and he said yes! He was brilliant!
We hope you enjoy it and that you will share this friendly video with people in your family who may be entertained by its charm.
And just in time for the new video, Women of Substance Radio is featuring "Merry Christmas To You" on episode #888 (an auspicious number!) on Friday, November 30th.

The song, "Lady Liberty," holds a message of American history and current events, as perceived by Lady Liberty herself. This will be Johnny Jake’s second music video collaboration with my music. Hubby Mike got recruited to do some filming for the video, down in Battery Park! It’s a family affair.
Watch this space in December for "Lady Liberty"!
That’s it for now!
Sending many warm wishes of love and sweet times with those who are dear to you,
