Gina Williams, a Blaine resident and award-winning musician, has released an online holiday greeting card for people who may need some extra holiday cheer.
Williams’ “A Cozy Christmas,” is a 60-minute “choose your own adventure” full of holiday songs interspersed with stories the composer has created.
“It’s a personalized journey,” Williams said. “It’s like having someone with you and talking to you … The holidays mean different things to different people. I made it choose your adventure, so you can navigate it to your mood.”
The card receiver has 48 hours to access “A Cozy Christmas,” where they can select 14 traditional carols like “Silent Night” or “Joy to the World” and receive different digital interactions from Williams based on the songs they select.
Williams said she was inspired to make the greeting card because she wanted to connect with people, especially those who may be spending the holidays alone. The singer-songwriter said she wanted people to see themselves in the card and tried to make it as culturally inclusive as she could with songs from across the world.
“I thought, ‘How can I let people know I’m there without physically being there?’” Williams said.
Williams holds a master’s degree in concert piano from the University of Alberta and has performed music – everything from jazz to Caribbean – all over the world.
The card costs $10 for an individual or $125 for a group package, and the card will be available until January 7, 2025. With Williams’ VIP Experience, the music can be listened to during the entire season, among access to Williams’ other music, for $5 per month or $50 for a year.
