Musical Advent Calendar, Day 7: Light One Candle

My Mission: One holiday-themed, non-carol song every day between now & Christmas. It's my own version of an Advent calendar. I may succeed, I may fail, but there will at least be some good music posted ... music you won't hear at the mall, that hopefully won't make you end up looking like him. ----->

Day 7: "Light One Candle" by Peter, Paul and Mary. (Recorded at their 1988 holiday concert. Thank to my dear mom for the suggestion!)

December 3rd: "Christmas Bells," from RENT. (Because what better way to celebrate the season than by buying stolen clothing and hunting down your drug dealer?! Also: listen for quotes from "White Christmas," "12 Days of Christmas," "Jingle Bells," "Deck the Halls" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.")
