Every year at Christmas time my family and I go to see Canadian Brass in concert. For me, it's really the signal that the holidays are about to start, and a time when I can find real peace within myself. Listening to the music as it fills up the hall, following the different instruments as their sounds move around. I consider it to be an almost spiritual thing for me. I just feel so calm, relaxed, and content during it. So of course, my heart was smiling during another amazing concert today.
Also, I wish everybody a very Happy Hanukkah!
