Your celebration sounds just lovely...particularly since you too are getting over the loss of a close family member.

As much as I love Celtic music...I don't think I have anything particularly Christmas-y in my collection, except maybe some Anuna. My tastes tend towards battle songs and the old laments.

Of course, Dougie MacLean's rendering of Auld Lang Syne can bring tears to my eyes, even in the middle of the year.
