It’s Ok for Christmas to Be Small - Out Fri Nov 6!
"It's Ok for Christmas to Be Small" is a tender pop/folk ballad offering quiet comfort amid holiday stress. Driven by expressive acoustic piano and delicate vocals it offers a gentle antidote to holiday overwhelm. Referencing the simplicity of the first nativity, it reminds that simplicity can be meaningful. Perfect fit for Cozy Christmas, Acoustic Christmas, or Calm Holiday playlists.
