Now that it’s officially Christmas on the East Coast, let this be a musical wish from me to you, readers.
Sultry songstress Norah Jones made her own, musical Christmas gift for fans on Christmas Eve, which she posted on YouTube. It’s a rendition of a timeless, holiday classic, “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.”
You’ve seen some very different kinds of stories here at RedState this holiday season, whether it was editor Joe Cunningham sharing his recipe for pound cake at the start of December, or our copy editor extraordinaire Susie Moore inviting you to join her for a Christmas Eve service tonight.

It s Christmas Eve, and in 2020 we could all use warm holiday wishes now more than ever. As we wrap up one of the most difficult years in history, bands took to social media to wish fans happy holidays.
“Throughout this year, we felt your love and support of the
Hybrid Theory celebration, even with the many unique challenges we faced,
Linkin Park s Joe Hahn wrote on the band s Instagram account alongside a festive animation of the
Hybrid Theory album art. As we head into the new year, we are sending everyone the warmest greetings and wishes this holiday season.”
A look inside hospitals stretched thin during the holidays
MISSION HILLS, Calif. - Providence Holy Cross Hospital is the last place Humberto Perez wanted to be for Christmas. Says the 39-year-old construction worker, It’s sad because you re not with your family. You’re missing them and you obviously want to be with them.
Perez got COVID-19 at work. So did his wife and son recovering at home. Perez is still in a bed at Providence Holy Cross.
Usually, hospitals try to dress up for Christmas with tinsel, decorations and so forth, but not this year. Dr. Marwa Kilani who heads up the Palliative Care Department says, Usually this lobby area is bustling with families and little kids running around with lots of good spirit and lots of cheer. We have a piano over here. That isn’t being used. No songs like I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas on the piano, and no staff singing Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

Why do we love Christmas music?
We know all the obvious reasons: It conjures treasured memories of holidays past; it allows us to revel in the season’s spirit simply by listening; it gives us a sense of peace through familiarity we’ve heard these songs a thousand times before.
But there’s another reason we cling to songs such as “White Christmas,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”: The character of the music itself conveys comfort and joy.
