“One of my all-time favorite songwriters is Martha Trachtenberg of Long Island, NY. I’ve stayed in her and her husband, Tom’s, home many times when gigging out on the East Coast. She and Tom wrote this one together. Again, it exemplifies the theme of the album … “the people you’ve encountered, and places you’ve been along life’s path that make a significant enough impact that you’re forever changed …”. The message of Christmas has been so diluted over time … not just by commercialism, but by a good majority of modern Christian teaching. I think this song is a good contemporary rendering of what Christmas is all about.”
