It’s our new holiday video for 2024!
Alex and I went old school this year with a straight-up rendition of this holiday classic. The outfits reference our academic & musical "Eras"… see if you can name them all. 😀
Happy Holidays!!

One more #acappella music video, featuring Alex! This one is from last year. Still working on our song for 2024… it’s coming soon!
Happy Holidays 2023
The greatest gift of making music videos has been Alex’s participation (he also sings in the Hilltones, his school #acappella group). This holiday medley was our first video project together (from 2022). Happy Holidays!

’Tis the season to bring back this old chestnut… Happy Holidays!
My first solo #acappella video, from the lockdown days of 2020. Clearly, I was going a bit stir crazy at home!😅
