Celebrating with song

Dec. 23, 2011 | 0 comments

It seems utterly impossible to separate the holiday season from song.

Who doesn't have a childhood memory of their holiday celebration that comes complete with its own musical score?

For me, it's Anne Murray's rendition of "Joy to the World." Our family tree simply could NOT have been decorated without it.

We here at NOW were inspired by the sounds of the season and decided to let our favorite lyrics serve as a muse in our search for holiday cheer.

We hope you enjoy the tales of "comfort and joy" found in this issue and that you and yours are safe and happy this holiday season.
