All of these events are great ideas, but the Holiday Pops hold a special places in my heart. I’ve watched them on PBS every year for a long time, and last year, I took my boyfriend to one of their concerts after Christmas to hear Jane Monheit sing. Another couple got engaged during a particularly romantic song and Keith Lockhart pulled them up on stage to congratulate them - soo cute!!
