What's a song you associate with your favorite holiday?

It's not Christmas without the Bifrost Arts version of Salvation is Created. I LOVE it. It features a singer named Aimee Wilson and it creates the perfect mood, celebrating hope in the midst of what seems to be all encompassing darkness. The song itself is from a Russian composer who composed it for the Russian Orthodox Church in 1912 before facing a lot of persecution.

I just had a moment re-listening (Christmas in July?) and finding some sort of tendrils of hope to cling to amidst all the darkness around us right now.

The only bad thing about it? My wife absolutely hates it. 🤦
