We hope you’re enjoying the holiday season (though digging out from mountains of snow is another matter!) and offer you a classic Christmas song to listen to. It’s “Carol of the Bells” as performed by Ari Herstand off the Home For The Holidays – A Minnesota Christmas album. Over a dozen local acts are included in this collection of classic and contemporary holiday tunes, and all net proceeds benefit four local non-profits: Second Harvest, Union Gospel Mission, St. Paul Parks Conservancy, and Under Construction.

Sip on some hot chocolate while you listen to this tune, and don’t forget to check Borangutan again on Monday because we’ll be unveiling a list of 40+ (!) local shows and events all happening on New Year’s Eve. So whether you’re looking for the hottest show in town (there are multiple candidates) or just a place that isn’t charging an exorbitant cover (there’s even some great free shows!), you’ll probably find exactly what you’re looking for in the list we’ve compiled.
