We have conquered Black Friday and Cyber Monday and have all the socks we need for the next year.
We have been caroling and seen carolers, attended a variety of holiday programs and consumed horrific amounts of egg nog. We have wandered the malls and shops and what we are lacking now is that one unique gift that will make the holiday special for someone near and dear.
For the music lover in your life, you might want to check out the new holiday CD released by the McNary High School choirs. This professionally recorded CD is available at Uptown Music, Salem and Keizer branches of Willamette Valley Bank as well as at McNary High School. Part of the proceeds will go to fund future recording efforts of schools and students in the Salem-Keizer School District; for $10 you really can't go wrong adding this to your holiday purchases.
There is also Glazing Ice, a holiday CD released last year by the Willamette Master Chorus. Available from chorus members or at willamettemasterchorus.org, this is another must for your holiday music collection.
For those who would enjoy a live performance, the Oregon Symphony Association in Salem is running a holiday special that allows concert lovers to purchase tickets to their remaining concerts for a fraction of the regular series prices.
Ticket prices range from $150 for five concerts to $50 for two concerts. This special pricing ends Dec. 22 and tickets may be purchased from the business office by calling (503) 364-0149.
If music isn't what you are looking for, the Salem and Keizer Art Associations each have holiday showcases going right now with some incredible art and gift items from local artisans.

Wherever your holidays take you we hope they are happy.
