New Christmas Song At Last

Hem has a new holiday song, and you can download it for free right now! Click on the image to the left for a little postcard greeting and a link to "Peace At Last." I may be a little late in spreading the link, but there's never a bad time for a little holiday cheer Hem-style, right? Also, you can find the (Hem original) words for Peace At Last on the lyrics page.
