This is a fully produced version of my song "Rest" (a lullaby for Jesus from Mary) from "Simply Christmas" an album I put out about a week ago. This new music has really helped me get in the spirit. God bless you all and if you are not a Christian, I hope you still enjoy this music, and happy holidays to you as well.
