I hope this 'card' finds you well and celebrating the holidays with joy in your life and the promise of a wonderful 2014 ahead.
One reason I prefer to send this as a holiday greeting rather than the standard USPS Christmas card is that I cherish photos from the year too much to simply pick a couple to share. So here is a selection of photographs from the year that encompass some of the family, friends and travel highlights of 2013.
Love,
Devin

Enjoy the holidays everyone!
P.S. For those interested, I have updated the Christmas playlist again this year - a few new tracks added, a few have been retired. If you aren't familiar with the background story... I never was a big fan of Christmas music, but gradually started to hear one or two songs I could stomach and even enjoy. Now I love Christmas music. In fact, Trombone Shorty’s “O Holy Night” is one of my favorite songs ever… regardless of the time-of-year.
Over the years, the playlist evolves. This year it includes some new tracks, including some great ones from Keb Mo, Humming House & Sufjan Stevens.
