Happy Christmas (music!)
Just in time for the holiday weekend and my personal preferred date to start hearing Christmas music (if it hasn’t snowed yet) -
“O Holy Night” by Seven Day Jesus. Their encore song from February 1, 1998. The song was recorded for the Happy Christmas compilations, my favorite Christmas songs ever.

It’s a nice perspective and a huge relaxation when it’s well mixed and [...]
