Ways to Embrace the At-Home Holidays
I’m happy to bring you ways to embrace the holiday from the comfort of your home.
If you love holiday music, how about enjoying a concept album titled “The Award Winning Holiday Album.” This collection of songs is conceived and performed by best friends and stage and television veterans Marty Thomas and Marissa Rosen and features some wonderful Broadway performers as well.

Also on the show this Sunday (and after the broadcast, available on podcast), is Tony winner James Monroe Iglehart, known for this starring role as the Genie in Aladdin on Broadway. James can be seen hosting “The Biggest Little Christmas Showdown” a new holiday television show on HGTV. This program features a competition for designers of miniature houses, all with a holiday theme. Catch it Fridays at 9 PM ET.
