New Music From Ben's Sister

In February 2016, Ben Seewald's younger sister, Danielle Seewald, kicked off her music career with her first EP, "New Take."

Now, almost two years later, Danielle is releasing two Christmas singles, "White Christmas" and "O Come, O Come Emmanuel." The links to purchase the songs on Amazon, iTunes, and Google Play are below. You can also listen to previews on those sites.

Fun fact: Andy Leftwich, a close friend of the Bates, is Danielle's producer. He also plays violin and guitar on these tracks.

Duggars Dream of a White Christmas

Blizzard of 2011

 As residents prepare for Christmas, winter storm watches cover Arkansas. The northwest corner of the state, where the Duggars live, is expecting a minimum of three to six inches of snow on Christmas Day.

According to the NCDC, the historical likelihood of the Duggars celebrating a white Christmas is less than 10%. In fact, Tulsa, Oklahoma--a city that lies two hours due west of the Duggars--has received a measurable amount of snow on Christmas Day only four times since the year 1875. If everything goes as predicted, December 25, 2012, will be a day for the record books!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
