Christmas has never been so beautiful. Really. The most peaceful time of the year. The loved ones gather to celebrate the feast of feasts. The feast of love, the feast of family. Celebrate with them.

Don't rush through the stores to find the one, the right gift at the very last moment. Don't get pushed off the sidewalk in the general hustle and bustle. Let the virus freeze outside and look outside. From inside, where it is safe. And warm.

Light the candles. Turn on the radio, sit back, listen. Here, Christmas is celebrated the way it really is. As it always was. Eerily beautiful.

The music:
Beginnings and endings of more than 120 Christmas songs were re-rhythmed with "Acoustic Strobes" and packed in several layers to become Christmas surprises.
