Available on YouTube as well :)

And with that….happy holidays, merry Christmas, and happy new year 💚 Thank you SO much for joining us for our Singin’ on the Steps episodes this year, I missed singing dreadfully and wanted to get back into it and start sharing that I sing, and Zack has been an absolute godsend in agreeing to help!! Fun fact, this song was originally written and performed in the musical “Meet me in St. Louis”, which I was young Tootie in at Glendale Center Theatre a long time ago. How funny, the passing of time and return to familiarity. Singin’ on the Steps is going to take a breather, 2026 will indeed bring some change. Unsure of what comes next, but for now, be safe, be healthy, be light, enjoy the music, dance while you can, spread love, and have yourself a merry little Christmas ✨

Thank you once again to the lovely Zack @zachary.p.smith on guitar 🩵

It feels incredibly good to finally share this special performance of 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' with all of you, especially after realizing how much I missed singing. There’s a unique joy that comes with creating music, and stepping back into the 'Singin’ on the Steps' series, even for a moment, was a much-needed breath of fresh air for my soul. Taking a 'breather' isn't always easy, especially when you're passionate about what you do. For me, it's about recharging, allowing new inspirations to bloom, and ensuring that when I do create, it comes from a place of genuine excitement and renewed energy. It's a common journey for a singer or any creative – sometimes, to truly soar, you need to step back and gather your strength. I've learned that listening to your body and mind is crucial; creative burnout is real, and it’s okay to acknowledge when you need time to reflect and simply *be*. This particular song, 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,' has always held a special place in my heart, not just for its beautiful melody but for its message of hope and familiarity. Learning that it was originally from 'Meet Me in St. Louis,' a musical I was privileged to be a part of years ago, only deepens its meaning for me. Performing it with Zack on guitar felt like coming full circle, a beautiful moment of returning to roots while also looking ahead. His support for 'Singin’ on the Steps' has been invaluable, and I couldn't have brought these covers to life without him. As we look towards 2026, I know there will be changes for 'Singin’ on the Steps.' What exactly those changes will be is still unfolding, but I promise the heart of the series – sharing music and connection – will remain.

Merry Xmas!
