Every year the Festival of the Carols has a very calming effect on Christmas. We enjoy listening to the music from all over the world. By nature, Christmas is a stressful time for many families; with my family, we have to deal with additional stressors; Autism/Aspergers are part of our family life. All Classical brings a calm to the season and helps bring back the “reason for the season”. The Festival of the Carols is a real gift for us and it is priceless; which is part of the reason I am a Sustaining member. I never want the music to stop. Thank You for your music planning, it makes a difference. – Rose
