Getting in the Holiday Mood

My roommie gave me tickets to a great concert yesterday at Lincoln Center. It was part of the Chamber Music Society Baroque Series and featured an amazing Recorder player. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy listening to Baroque music, especially this time of the year. It definitely puts me in the holiday mood. Perhaps it's listening to Handel every Christmas Eve, or to chamber music from Vivaldi or Bach like I did last night, but I just don't think it's Christmas without some nod to the Renaissance. I was never one for a Victorian Christmas, but I can definitely jive with a Renaissance one. Hmmm...that gives me an idea...
