From the post:

I have another 6 songs for the Xmas album. That CD is shaping up very nicely. The tour will be tightly packed dates. In fact I have heard rumors that we will spend Thanksgiving on the buses and that we will return to Santa Fe no earlier than Christmas eve. I have never before toured that late in the year. It will be interesting. I am once again searching for the right title. Maybe just December 2005, or Holidays 2005, or Winter, or The Season? Just 2005... or Le Cafe? About a third of the music is Christmas songs and the rest are either classical pieces or original compositions and therefore I would like to find a title that is more universal than anything with the word Christmas... Something poetic that celebrates the season...

Perhaps Winter Cafe or even Winter Solstice. The later would lead nicely to a Summer Solstice recording later down the road.

Just to add a bit to the discussion to maybe give you new ideas:

Un sueno de una noche de invierno

That's too long, ok, but ...

A midwinter's night dream?
