With his parents and three siblings, Dan fondly remembers picking out the family tree, right after Thanksgiving, from a lot not far from their family house. Dan and his family would take the tree home and decorate it that very night. Dan says that decorating the tree" began the countdown to Christmas morning and my sister, two brothers and I could hardly contain ourselves!"

These early memories of Christmas music, the warmth and the joy, can be heard in Dan's new single, "My Favorite Time of Year."

I am especially grateful to Leigh Haggerwood for such a beautiful composition and I am delighted that he is so pleased with my version of his great piece. I hope you enjoy the song and I wish you and your family all the best in this Christmas season." – Dan Ashley
