WVIA’s News and FM teams wish you and your family a merry holiday season. Kick back, maybe with some hot cocoa or by the fireplace, and listen to some tunes. This year, staff is celebrating the holidays with a theme: storytelling. Each song in this playlist tells a story, so enjoy hearing this tale.
