This first half of the book includes the script, sheet music, and QR code links to performance recordings and accompaniment tract to re-create a Nativity experience for readers unlike anything they’ve seen, heard, or read before.

The second half explains how readers can adopt five of Christ’s attributes to become better people, encouraging us all to try to live the kind of life that Christ’s life exemplified.

It will enrich your lives and those you chose to share it with, just like the production itself.

New Christmas Movie | "Journey To Bethlehem"


A young woman carrying an unimaginable responsibility. A young man torn between love and honor. A jealous king who will stop at nothing to keep his crown…

“Journey To Bethlehem” is a live-action Christmas musical adventure for the entire family that weaves classic Christmas melodies with humor, faith, and new pop songs in a retelling of the greatest story ever told—the story of Mary and Joseph and the birth of Jesus.

Screenplay by: Adam Anders & Peter Barsocchini

I got a sneak-peak and was thrilled with it! It's the first musical recounting Mary and Joseph's journey and our entire family was absolutely mesmerized from start to finish. It has some really incredible talent; Fiona Palomo, Milo Manheim, Joel Smallbone (from one of our favorite musical groups, for King & Country!), singer/rapper, Lecrae, AND... Academy-Award Nominee, Antonio Banderas portraying the jealous ruler we love to hate, King Herod.

This movie was directed by Adam Anders, and written by Adam and Nikki Anders. Adam is a four-time Grammy nominee and two-time People’s Choice Award winner. For many years, he served as the executive music producer of “Glee”, and you'll see his writing and directing credits extend to an impressive variety of television, movie and music projects. 

Award-winning recording artist and songwriter, Nikki, has written, performed, or produced for many major motion pictures and television shows, including the Golden Globe-winning hit TV series “Glee.” This talented and passionate husband and wife powerhouse joined me on a recent podcast episode that you can listen to HERE.

You will absolutely LOVE this unique new entry into the collection of holiday classic movies, this epic Christmas musical is unlike any before it.

Kelly Clarkson dropped her Christmas album during the holidays last year and the spunky single, “Christmas Isn’t Canceled (Just You),” became an instant favorite!

This year we’re hearing more of another, “Santa Can’t You Hear Me,” with Arianna Grande.  I love every track on this sensational album!

I’m psyched to add autographed copies of “When Christmas Comes Around”to my gift-away bundles!

Says Kelly: "We are probably all in very different places emotionally ‘when Christmas comes around.’ Some consumed with a new love, some reminded of loss, some with optimism, others for much deserved time away from the chaos our work lives can sometimes bring us. I wanted everyone to be able to connect to a message on this album. While change can be unpredictable there is no better time of year to breathe hope into one’s life and let possibility wander.” .

Add some extra joy to your holiday season with
“When Christmas Comes Around”

One of the most exciting things about this time of year is the great selection of new holiday music releases!

We “flip the switch” on the Delilah radio program to all-Christmas programming earlier than most because I love the magical mood that Christmas music creates!

It’s the infusion of new music each year that makes our programming a fresh and welcome sound coming over the airwaves and spilling into your cars, your offices, and your homes, becoming a soundtrack to the memories you’re creating with co-workers, friends, and family.

And this year there are several albums full of fabulous additions to my playlist! I like to call them my “Christmas Music MUSTS,” that I just can’t wait to tell you about!

Kelly Clarkson is the first artist ever to top each of Billboard’s pop, adult contemporary, country, and dance charts. And there's a sampling of each of those genre's in her new album, “When Christmas Comes Around.

The fun single"Christmas Isn't Canceled (Just You)"  is an empowering anthem to all those who refuse to give in to remorse or regret after a breakup, but instead look toward the future with hope and happiness in their heart (even if their stockings are empty on Christmas Day!)

"We are probably all in very different places emotionally ‘when Christmas comes around.’ Some consumed with a new love, some reminded of loss, some with optimism, others for much deserved time away from the chaos our work lives can sometimes bring us. I wanted everyone to be able to connect to a message on this album. While change can be unpredictable there is no better time of year to breathe hope into one’s life and let possibility wander.” ~ Kelly Clarkson

If you haven't downloaded it yet, you shouldn’t wait a second longer!

Rob Thomas has given yourself and someone like you (see what I did there?) a fun little gift this year, his first-ever Christmas album, Something About Christmas Time.”

Rob put a lot of thought into this 10-track compilation. It is a beautiful mix of new, like “Small Town Christmas” inspired by the picturesque community he and his wife live in north of New York City, old, with covers of Bryan Adams and Ray Charles recordings, as well as some lovely collaborations with friends; pop sensation, Ingrid Michaelson, gospel star, Bebe Winans, and country legend, Brad Paisley.

As the host of a dedication show, I appreciate that not every track is what you’d call “happy.” Christmas brings about the full range of emotions, and Rob’s new album speaks to them all. You can listen to Rob and I chatting about “Something About Christmas” and all kinds of other random topics on an upcoming December podcast episode!

The album dropped in October, and is available wherever you get your music!
Here's a link to help you on your way: Something About Christmas Time

Know who else is supplying a whole new album’s worth of holiday happiness? Pentatonix! With the release of their 6th holiday themed album, “Evergreen”.

The beloved a cappella quintet has become practically synonymous with Christmas on the Delilah radio show, and I can’t wait to add their new tracks to my merry musical mix! “The Prayer” nearly brought me to my knees, as it will you, and "It’s Been a Long, Long Time", seems long, long overdue. (Yes, it’s THAT good!) The deluxe album contains a whopping 14 new tracks that we’ll all be playing on repeat!

4 of the 5 members joined me on my podcast LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah earlier this year. It was an incredible opportunity to get to know these amazing individuals whose blended voices give us the gift of the unique Pentatonix sound - so be sure to listen in.

Get your copy and several more to share here: Evergreen
(And take the opportunity to watch the video for “The Prayer”!)

“Behold.” The name along conjures great joy and anticipation, and everything on this rich album by Lauren Daigle meets those expectations.

Lauren and I were able to sit down and chat recently and we had the greatest conversation about life, faith, growth, and MUSIC. (Listen HERE) She infuses each song she performs with her love for the Lord and that unbridled joy is passed on to us as we listen.

“Behold” is a collection of 13 tracks that remind us of the reason for the season. You’ll want to pay close attention to the powerful “Light of the World”, her fun and jazzy version of “Jingle Bells”, and her unique rendition of “What Child is This”. 

Treat yourself and fill a few stockings with Behold
Then spend a moment watching the album trailer & the “Jingle Bells” video.

I love to kick off my Christmas play list with “Everyday Is Christmas,” from the oh-so-talented SIA!

It’s a fun, whimsical album, chock-full of original music like the mega-hit “Snowman” which has over 500 million streams! This year “Everyday is Christmas” is being produces as a deluxe edition with 3 new bonus tracks including the fresh “Santa Visits Everyone ,“ a fun new “Snowman” remix, and a cover of Perry Como's "Round & Round".

If I had it my way, everyday would be Christmas.

We fell in love with all that is Darren Criss (multitalented musician, songwriter, stage & screen actor) through his various roles in Glee, Versace: American Crime Story, Hollywood, and others… and yet I’ve just found a whole new reason to sing his praises; his first full length album, “A Very Darren Crissmas.”

It features original songs, creative re-imaginings of classic tunes, and rarely covered hidden gems - plus guest appearances by Adam Lambert, Evan Rachel Wood and Lainey Wilson! It’s a remarkable collection of tracks curated with the dual purpose of connection - those with personal significance - and consideration - those that make you think twice.

Whatever his process, he had me at “I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas,” a looooong time favorite since way back when my children (who now have children) were small.

Having a merry little Christmas is all but guaranteed

Farewell December” is a full LP of festive favorites released by singer-songwriter, Matt Nathanson.

It’s a 12-track set that delivers the homey blend of rock, folk, and pop the guy who brought us the platinum single, “Come On Get Higher” is known for. Matt has a unique way of connecting with his audiences when performing live, and the same authenticity is felt through his recordings.

I want to be the one he’s singing “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)” to, and when I get there, I hope he serenades me with his cover of Joni Mitchell’s “River.” He also takes on “Blue Christmas” , “I Believe in Father Christmas”, and “Little Drummer Boy” featuring Donovan Woods, and several others that will get you into the spirit!

After downloading this LP, you won’t want to say Farewell December

On Friday, November 5, superstar, award-winning artists, Mariah Carey, Khalid and Kirk Franklin, debuted their new single, “Fall in Love at Christmas”!

The R&B and Gospel infused ballad, promising to be a new holiday classic, arrives just in time for the season. and is streaming on all digital platforms. The three artists also premiered the video for “Fall in Love at Christmas”; filmed at Carey’s home and the Butterfly Lounge in LA, and featuring her twins, Monroe and Moroccan, evoking the warm and loving spirit of the holidays.

Mariah will continue celebrating the season with a new holiday event on Apple TV+ in December, featuring the first and only exclusive performance of “Fall in Love at Christmas” with Carey, Khalid and Franklin.

There may be no new romance for me, but I know I’ll still

There’s no such thing as “enough” Christmas music! I get so giddy each autumn as new holiday albums and singles start falling like snowflakes… each one unique and magical, becoming part of a larger chorus of praise and celebration.

These are some of the best and you’ll want to get them before you set out to capture the perfect Christmas tree or take your first sip of eggnog!

Miracle Creek Christmas | December Book Club

Screen Shot 2020-11-21 at 10.15.39 PM.png

BUY Miracle Creek Christmas

Every time I crack the cover on a new book, it’s like giving myself a gift. I love to pass that gift on to you, my book club readers, and this December, this magical season, I have a delightful story to share, Miracle Creek Christmas, by Krista Jensen.

I was immediately drawn to the title, thinking how appropriate it would be for this time of year, but even more delightful was discovering the story is set in the Wenatchee Valley of Washington State! That’s a day trip from my home outside of Seattle, and there is no more picturesque place or better setting for a winter romance as far as I’m concerned.

The theatrical little Bavarian town of Leavenworth is exactly as described in the book; simply a sight to behold, and a place I love to take my family and friends visiting from far away places! The author does a fabulous job of describing the area, and I felt myself grinning every time a little burg, like Cashmere, was mentioned. If you’ve never been to these places, you’ll feel like you have after you’ve read about them here.

Miracle Creek Xmas.jpg

But setting aside, it’s the characters that will pull you in. Riley Madigan is a twenty-something city girl trying to outrun heartache. She leaves the city life behind to become a high school art teacher in the remote little town of Miracle Creek. Expecting to find solitude in such a place, she’s not prepared when she meets Mark Rivers on the ‘off-the-beaten path.’ Mark is working to rebuild his life after the devastation of losing his best friend and fire-fighting partner in a wildfire a year earlier, in which he suffered severe burns himself. He’s trying to come to terms with his altered appearance and his altered life.

Each carry heartache and injury, guarding themselves against any additional sorrows. So “just friends” it will have to be, despite those inconvenient feelings they keep trying to deny (themselves as well as others.) Well-meaning family members, and not-so-well-meaning community characters, had me fearful these two might not ever come to their senses, but - spoiler alert - they finally do!

Love blossoms in the middle of winter at Miracle Creek, and I know you’ll enjoy it as much as I did, perhaps curled up on the sofa with a mug of hot chocolate, memories of when you last made a snow-angel in the back of your mind, while the lights on the tree twinkle in the corner…

Magical 'Music Musts' For The Holidays

Screen Shot 2020-11-06 at 2.56.54 PM.png

Christmas comes but once a year, and THIS year we need it more than ever! As winter takes its hold on us, Christmas stands as a beacon of light guiding us through the dark and cold weeks of December, towards the warm hearth that is hope, and the promise of brighter days to come after a chilly, but necessary, restorative slumber.

Next to a nativity scene, ye ole’ tannenbaum, and the man-in-red, nothing is more synonymous with Christmas than music. We embrace and play it all; the ancient, the classic, and the brand new, on my nightly radio program!!! This season we’re fortunate to have a big variety of fresh Christmas releases from talented artists dedicated to delivering the gift of Christmas cheer - good things DO come in small packages!

Here’s 6 Magical Music Must recommendations to add to your holiday music libraries!


for King & Country – A Drummer Boy Christmas

A Drummer Boy Christmas.jpg

Be sure to tune in to DRUMMER BOY: A Night Of Celebration with for KING & COUNTRY, the LIVE Christmas Special, tonight(12/15) at 7pm CST. It should be an awesome event!

View the Livestream Event on YouTube or Facebook

for King & Country are a dynamic Grammy® Award-winning group led by a dynamic duo, the brother’s Joel and Luke Smallbone. I love their electrifying performances, their theatrical stage presence, and their unwavering message of love and HOPE. They are gifting us, this holiday season, their first Christmas album “A Drummer Boy Christmas,” 13 tracks of awe-inspiring performances, including, of course, “Little Drummer Boy” which bowled over the crowd at last year’s CMA Country Christmas and is one of my top favorite Christmas songs!

Said Joel in a recent interview, “I don’t want to get so far that I get too swallowed up in the despair of the influx of information that is getting passed around at an incredible rate. I don’t believe the world is getting worse. I believe that if you really focus on how far we’ve come, it’s really getting better.” Amen.

You may be lucky enough to live in an area that for King & Country will be stopping at during their Drummer Boy Drive-In concert tour. Check the schedule and get tickets HERE.

Francesca Battistelli - This Christmas

FB.jpg

This Christmas, a new 14-track collection, with a mix of originals and Christmas classics is the second Christmas album for Grammy® Award-winning artist, Francesca Battistelli. It features a spine-tingling a cappella rendition of “Silent Night,” as well as the chart-topping single, “Messiah,” along with fun favorites like a remastered version of “Marshmallow World.”

The album started with a bang, going straight to the top of the iTunes Holiday Chart while the single, “Behold Him,” a ballad for all those struggling, landed in the top 5 iTunes Holiday Songs. The cover art, a textile piece of folk art itself .was hand-sewn and knitted by designer, Jessica Dance, and is almost reason enough to pick up the LP.

Says Battistelli, “I know that for many people, the Christmas season can be very difficult. My prayer is that these songs offer hope, glorify Jesus, bring joy (and maybe even some laughter!), and truly bless you, now and in the years to come.”

Matt Nathanson - Farewell December (1).jpg

Nathanson himself sums it up beautifully, “I was trying to get it to sound the way the holidays & the end of the year feel… exciting, warm but also kinda sad and bitter sweet. a celebration of the end of something.”

I know I’m ready to celebrate the end of 2020, and I’ll bet the rest of you are as well!

LOjr A Christmas Album.jpg

Tony and Grammy® Award-winner, singer, actor, and author, Leslie Odom, Jr,. has wrapped up another holiday collection for us this year, with his release of “The Christmas Album.”  When choosing the track list, he thought much about what people would be needing this year, after the struggles and strife 2020 brought to so many. The 12-track album features many holiday classics as well as two new tunes, “Snow” and “Winter Song (feat. Cynthia Erivo)” that were released in October with the announcement of The Christmas Album.

Leslie has a busy schedule this season, so be sure to catch up with him at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 26, AND on my podcast, LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah on December 22!

A Season of Generosity | Giving Back

I was taught from the time I was a small child that the holiday season is the time for giving, which is why I’m calling it the Season of Generosity.

My parents loved this time of year; my dad spent hours in his wood shop and my mom’s sewing machine seemed to never stop humming. There was always something baking or simmering on the stovetop.

IMG_3400.jpg

They not only created most of the gifts my siblings and I found under our tree, but there were also piles of baskets and boxes stuffed with gifts and treats that went out to countless friends, neighbors, and coworkers.

level of softness

Simple and heartfelt gestures:

  • Volunteer to watch someone’s children for a few hours so they can do some shopping, prepare some meals, work on holiday projects.

  • Treat your co-workers with some home-baked goodies or a big bowl of fruit to help keep immune systems healthy through the winter months.

  • Make some home-made doggie treats and give them out to dog-walkers passing by.

  • Do you sew, knit, or crochet? Those are some mad skills! Put them to use making hats, scarves, blankets, and booties - give to loved ones or donate to organizations that will distribute to those in need.

  • Create spa-like baskets for the overworked ladies in your life! Add a candle, some bubble bath or bath bombs, scented soaps or lotions, mani-pedi tools, a fluffy loofa - all items can easily be found at your local dollar store but come together to create a luxurious gift item.

  • Volunteer! How ‘bout some of these Nationally recognized places??? Anything spark a passion with you?

  • And if you find that you have just a little something in your bank account that you’d like to bless someone with, consider making a donation to a charitable organization of your choice. (Might I suggest Point Hope - a voice for forgotten children?!)

    Donations to one of these groups will help put gifts under to tree for children that wouldn’t otherwise have one to unwrap. i

I hope you find the joy in giving back this season! There is so much to be thankful for, and I am beyond thankful for all of you, my listeners, my readers, my supporters!

If you have more ideas for ways to give back please share them in the comments section or visit me on my Facebook or Instagram (@radiodelilah) pages and comment there.

Happy Holidays my friends!

I fell in love with the Spinstyle  a few years ago and it’s still my favorite styling tool! SalonTech’s patented Technology Curl Dial works like an extra set of hands to pick up, separate, and guide hair around the barrel, creating fast, easy, and tangle free curls with one hand. (Make sure the hair isn’t tangled before beginning!) Create tight bouncy curls to loose, voluptuous, beachy waves at the touch of a button, in half the time of a regular curling iron!

I do my hair in the morning and I am set until late in the evening! I have one for home and one for travel and all my daughters have one too.  It’s the perfect holiday gift for the stylista on your list.  My listeners will receive an exclusive, special offer when ordering; just be sure and use promo code PERFECT.   .

A Snowy Little Christmas | November Book Club

Screen Shot 2019-10-21 at 2.07.55 PM.png

The holidays are coming! The holidays are coming! And what better way to greet them than with a sweet collection of Christmas romances?!

Get A Snowy Little Christmas

My November Book Club choice, A Snowy Little Christmas, is a trio of short stories by beloved authors, Fern Michaels, Tara Sheets, and Kate Clayborn; each easy little read comes with more than a touch of romance, a dusting of snow, and a sprinkling of Christmas magic…

STARRY NIGHT by Fern Michaels

The first in the series, Starry Night, is the kind of delightful treat we’ve come to expect from Michaels (The main character seems vaguely familiar to me…) As the host of a radio program for the lovelorn, Jessie Richmond is surprisingly lonely, especially with the holidays approaching, so she decides to make a trek to her uncle’s bookstore in rural New York state and hold a speed dating event—only to find herself snowed in—with one very special single on her radar.

MISTLETOE AND MIMOSAS by Tara Sheets

And from Sheets, the story of a successful woman who has accomplished many goals and THINKS she’s got it all in Mistletoe and Mimosas… After years of hard work, real estate agent Layla Gentry has her dream home on Pine Cove Island and perfectly content to be on her own. Until her childhood nemesis, Sebastian, comes to town that is! When a snowstorm and a stranded kitten bring them together on Christmas Eve, Layla discovers he’s all grown up—and she may have one more dream left . . .

MISSING CHRISTMAS by Kate Clayborn

The finale, from Clayborn, Missing Christmas shows us that we often find love where we least expect it. It’s all work and no play for two longtime friends-turned-business-partners Kristen and Jasper—until an unexpected kiss all of a sudden makes things very personal. Will it mean the end of something, or the beginning? With a major contract in the balance, Christmas around the corner, and a lot of unspoken feelings, it may take an unpredictable blizzard in New England to seal the deal . . .

So find yourself a cozy reading nook, a cup of hot tea, and a little time to curl up and immerse yourself in some warm and fuzzy Christmas feel-good stories with A Snowy Little Christmas!

If you’ve tuned in to the show lately, you know I’ve written a new book, One Heart At A Time, released on October 16. It was a labor of love, and became even more so after the loss of my beloved son, Zachariah, the previous year. Writing stopped for a while, but telling his story became such a pressing need that I pressed on, finished the book, and created a new chapter just about him.

But the book is more than that. This is my story and my plea. The world is facing some trying times, we are more disconnected and lonelier than ever before. How do we change it? One. Heart. At. A. Time.

I’ve included an autographed copy in each of my 12 Stockings this year with the hope that you will enjoy it and it will inspire you to reach out and help me change the world. All we need is love and a heart that is willing to serve.

Perry leads with the track “No Erasin” and reassuringly greets fans with the opening line “I know it’s been a long time comin’.” The track is an emotional homecoming; everyone is celebrating his new music. Forbes Magazine exclaims “for all of music it is damn good to have the Steve Perry back.” I couldn’t agree more.

“Traces” has received critical acclaim from many, including USA Today, who highlighted it as one of “10 Albums You Need Too Hear This Fall.” Take yourself and someone special on the emotional journey of “Traces.”

There are so many great Christmas albums out this year, and I'll be playing selections from each on the air.  Here's a sampling of some of my favorites:

 

Five For Fighting | Christmas Where You Are

Five For Fighting's new single, Christmas Where You Are, ft. Jim Brickman is special. Very special. Exceptionally special. Why? It honors our troops. Those whom I am so dearly fond of, who stand up and say "I will" protect our country, protect our people, protect our freedoms. These are the same men and women who very often find themselves separated from family and loved ones at Christmas and other holidays. 

Listen to Christmas Where You Are.
