    It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Bolmas – 2018

    Happy Holidays!

    Friend of the show Eric Szypulski wrote this song about our new favorite holiday, which we think puts us right in the proper Bolmas holiday spirit! We arranged for a group of people we love to help us with this, and they put a lot of effort into it just for you! We may not be skilled, but we have heart!

    Let us know what you think.

    Phil & Shivam
