The festive single, “Christmas Is A Special Time Of Year”, is a musical reminder of the sparkle of the season. Bringing to mind what makes this time of year so amazing, the ballad features of the vocals of Carter and soprano Ana Gibson. He penned the track himself and has been holding on to the song for years now. “I wrote the song while teaching at the Parkdale High School in the 90’s while preparing for a Holiday Concert for the School at the time,” says the artist. “I wanted to write a song that expressed the joy of sharing during Christmas while keeping the original meaning in tact”.
