FIFTH NIGHT OF HANUKKAH

it’s about celestial navigation but also juicy Herod/Magi drama but also trust and paranoia?? no one is doing it like James Taylor

SIXTH NIGHT OF HANUKKAH

SEVENTH NIGHT OF HANUKKAH
NEW YEAR’S EVE
a beautiful homage to Sinead and the only fitting grand finale for a playlist that marks the end of the year. “Goodnight, and joy be with you all”
