Song of the Week: “Ain’t No Chimneys in the Projects” by Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings

Christmas is here and in Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings soulful tune “Ain’t No Chimneys in the Projects” we learn that Christmas magic often originates in the home rather than the North Pole.

Happy holidays whatever you celebrate and let’s make some magic with love.
