Winter has once again blown into Kentucky, replete with frosty mornings, weekly dustings of snow, and the hope that people are finally learning to drive in it.

This time of year, the cold may nip at your nose, but music has a magical way of warming us right back up.

Seasonal tunes brighten even the chilliest nights, bells ringing, fiddles singing, and a little holiday cheer sneaking into every chorus.

Settle in, fill your cup with something warm and delicious, and let's kick off a winter night full of music with our good friends Hancock and Shouse.

♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ The snow's comin' down ♪ ♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ I'm watchin' it fall ♪ ♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ Lots of people around ♪ ♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ Baby, please come home ♪ ♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ The church bells in town ♪ ♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ Are ringin' in song ♪ ♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ Lots of people around ♪ ♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ Baby, please come home ♪ ♪ They're singing Deck the Halls ♪ ♪ But it's not like Christmas at all ♪ ♪ 'Cause I remember when you were here ♪ ♪ And all the fun we had last year ♪ ♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ Pretty lights on the tree ♪ ♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ I'm watchin' them shine ♪ ♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ You should be here with me ♪ ♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ Baby, please come home ♪ (festive bluegrass music) ♪ They're singin' Deck the Halls ♪ ♪ But it's not like Christmas at all ♪ ♪ 'Cause I remember when you were here ♪ ♪ And all the fun we had last year ♪ ♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ Oh, if there was a way ♪ ♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ I'd hold back these tears ♪ ♪ Christmas ♪ ♪ Oh, but it's Christmas day ♪ ♪ Please, please ♪ ♪ Please, please ♪ ♪ Baby, please come home ♪ ♪ Baby, please come ♪ ♪ Baby, please come home ♪ ♪ Baby, please come ♪ ♪ Baby, please come home ♪ ♪ Yeah ♪ - Here in the Bluegrass State, we know a thing or two about joyful noise.

Bluegrass and mountain music didn't just bounce around in the hills and mountains of Kentucky, it resounded through the region, the nation, and the world to shape what we now call Americana.

The storytelling, the picking, the high lonesome sound, it all started right here in this state, carried from porch to porch and generation to generation.

- Welcome, folks, we're Hancock and Shouse.

We're gonna sing you a wintertime song about the snow.

This one is called "Footprints in the Snow."

And we'll do you an old Christmas song that actually a friend of my dad wrote.

Dad was a farmer and a guitar picker, and a friend of his was a veterinarian who wanted to learn to play the guitar.

And dad showed him a few chords and then that feller, named Elmo Shropshire, went on to write this song, "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer."
