Sylvia\u2019s uncle is Hugh Martin, famous for composing the hit Christmas song,\u00a0<em>Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.\u00a0<\/em>Sylvia tells the story of Uncle Hugh converting to Christianity and then sings a new version of the carol that her uncle wrote after giving his life to Jesus Christ. Hugh Martin accompanies Sylvia on the piano while she performs the updated tune.<\/p>\n<p>ALSO FEATURED: Laurie Lewis, who toured with the revived\u00a0<em>Mamas and the Papas,\u00a0<\/em>singing the best edition of<em>\u00a0God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen\u00a0<\/em>you have ever heard!<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Special Note: Hugh Martin was alive when this show first broadcast. He has since passed away but we continue to play the program as a tribute.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE<\/strong>: While the program is a repeat, you will hear a current commercial for Bob\u2019s children\u2019s novel,\u00a0<strong><em>The Dangerous Christmas Ornament.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0If you are somebody who hates it when Christmas ends too quickly, this book is especially for you! Meet Mike\u2019s eccentric Aunt Loureen who celebrates Christmas five months out of the year, from November through March! In her words, \u201cIf we\u2019re going to have winter, we may as well have Christmas along with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you love Christmas as much as Bob, try reading a few chapters of this story. It will pull you in right away. \u00a0Told in the first person by a twelve- year old sixth grade boy, it is enjoyed by all ages. Don\u2019t let the title fool you. In the story, Christmas Day takes place only in Chapter One. After that, the story moves into late December and the first few weeks of January.<\/p>\n<p>A fun, adventurous novel that kids have not been able to put down and yet it teaches them Judeo-Christian values!<\/p>\n<div class=\"content-thumb content-list-thumb\"><a title=\"The Dangerous Christmas Ornament\" href=\"https:\/\/bobsiegel.net\/wp\/2015\/06\/24\/the-dangerous-christmas-ornament\/\" data-slimstat=\"5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-content-list size-content-list wp-post-image\" src=\"https:\/\/bobsiegel.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/tdco_new.png\" alt=\"The Dangerous Christmas Ornament\" width=\"103\" height=\"146\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<header class=\"content-list-header\">\n<h3 class=\"content-list-title\"><a title=\"The Dangerous Christmas Ornament\" href=\"https:\/\/bobsiegel.net\/wp\/2015\/06\/24\/the-dangerous-christmas-ornament\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" data-slimstat=\"5\">The Dangerous Christmas Ornament<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"content-list-excerpt\">\n<p>TRIPLE HONORS! -Independent Press Award\u00a02017\u00a0Distinguished Favorite! -New York City Big Book Award 2017\u00a0Distinguished Favorite! -About Read\u00a0Selections: Top 30 Recommended Action Adventure Books For 11-Year Olds Top 30 Animals Books For 11 Year Olds\u00a0 (for talking\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a repeat broadcast of a favorite radio show which first aired December of 2007, singer, songwriter Sylvia Lange shares her testimony and her music.
