Holiday Times

Ella Jenkins' 1996 album Holiday Times is a collection of songs celebrating winter and early spring holidays from Kwanza and Christmas to Chinese Lunar New Year. The voices of friends from the Harold Washington Elementary School in Chicago, vocals and guitar from Guy Guilbert, vocals and flute from Catherine Hall, and pipe and organ from Jerry Kinsella contribute to the album’s warm holiday spirit. From "It's Christmas Time" to "Harmonica for Hanukah," Holiday Times is an excellent option for parents and teachers looking to teach children about how different communities celebrate the holidays. Recommended for ages 5–11.
