Christmas Memories
SING ME A MEMORY: A Season of Favorites
As we celebrate the fifth chapter in the Christmas with Neel Patrick concert series, I want to make this one extra special by including YOU!This year, I’m inviting friends, family, and everyone who has made these shows part of their Christmas tradition to share their favorite holiday song and what it means to them. Is there a carol that reminds you of home? A jazzy tune you always turn on while decorating the tree? Maybe a country deep cut or a treasured hymn that brings you peace?Send me your song, your name, and a short memory or story behind it. I’ll be selecting a few to feature in this year’s show, reading YOUR story and singing YOUR song to make YOUR Christmas memories part of the show.It’s my way of saying thank you for five wonderful seasons filled with music, memories, and holiday magic!
