Songs Of The Season

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

A program of music for these winter holidays, with sets for Chanukah, old Christmas customs and rituals, a bit of Christmas whimsy and a reminder that it is our obligation and responsibility to help those less fortunate than us — not just at the holidays but year ’round. Blessings of peace and joy to all our listeners this holiday season.
