Hello everyone and welcome to Christmas Tune of the Day 2018! For those unfamiliar, I will be posting new videos of popular holiday songs each day from December 1st through Christmas Day. This year features all new arrangements and new special guests.

New this year is that I will be donating 100% of the ad revenue from these videos as well as 100% of my "Make Jazz Fun Again" hat sales between December 1-25 to a local homeless shelter. I will also match that amount with my own money and donate that amount to a local animal shelter. Let's help as many as we can this year!

I will be updating this thread each day with the videos, and here is the first one which is an introduction to the month. I hope you all enjoy it and get some happiness from these videos!

I'm liking your selection of seasonal attire. This jacket in Day 3 is something every man should have in his closet. And leave it there No really, I like it. Very cool; wintery actually. Freezing.


edit - just watched #4. I like the harmony. Nice tone on the flute and clarinet.
