There’s actually a bit of news in that posting. It looks like the Canada storyteller is coming back for the first time in many years. I wonder if that will be in addition to the Holiday Voyageurs or replacing them, as they did to him before.

Was going to comment on that, I wonder if it’s just a leftover in the posting each year? I’ll have to dig. I actually liked that they switched it up for Canada with the band, as our “Santa” is so similar to Father Christmas.
