First of all, Merry Christmas to all our readers and students around the world!
Ausra and I wish you and your loved ones a blessed time as we gather together to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year! We hope you have someone in your life to share this joy with.
If not, let beautiful organ music be your companion too.
It works, I'm told.
