Christmas music drifts through shops, rises from radios, and stirs old memories. A single melody can carry us back to candlelit services, winter nights wrapped in scarves, or the quiet awe of childhood mornings. Join us for a journey from ancient chants in stone chapels to the carols that shaped our earliest Christmases and the songs that still warm our homes today. Together we’ll explore how music becomes ritual, anchors memory, and carries meaning across generations—still holding the power to make Christmas magical. Led by Gary Putnam.
