Autobiographical

March 1, 1995

Music Oh Tannenbaum!

Oh Tannenbaum! 2014

Mom makes the cover of Oh Tannenbaum! 2014 (kissing Santa Claus, no less) to honor her with the playlist bringing together clever new songs, incredible “oldies” and a few traditional favorites. Just like she’d like.

Throwback Thursday
