On the twelfth day of Christmas, Deborah writes: 'I am lovingly closing my TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS with one of the most special Christmas songs, “Someday At Christmas” recorded by the one & only Stevie Wonder back in 1967. It’s, quite simply, one of those songs that makes me feel the very embodiment and spirit of the Holiday Season. Without fail, it always makes me tear up with it’s messages of peace, giving and love. In other words, what Christmas is all about. I want to thank you ALL for spending these 12 days with me and BroadwayWorld’s lovely annual tradition. Blessings to all. XO'
On the eleventh day of Christmas, Deborah writes: 'Today, I want to share with you one of my kids’ favorites- “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” and, here, by The Jackson 5.

My kids LOVE Christmas so much, that we would always have our tree up right after Halloween, to enjoy the season longer!'

His Christmas album is no different. His version of “Mary, Did You Know?” is just as gorgeous.'
On the seventh day of Christmas, Deborah writes: 'Nat King Cole has been called 'The King Of Christmas.' It’s not difficult to understand why when you hear and see the man, himself, simple and unadorned, bringing this beautiful song to life.

On the fifth day of Christmas, Deborah writes: 'Today, I share with you an R&B “classic” BOYZ II MEN are timeless and this version of the song reminds me of the time I spent living in L.A.
