Once again, December — the harbinger of winter — is upon us. Somehow, we’ve made it this far without anything more than a dusting of snow on the ground.

Typically, the Twin Cities see an average of 6 inches of snow by late November. However, it’s looking like we’ll have a warmer start to this winter season.

To kick off the month, today’s Coffee Break is focused on December. Think about songs that have the month in the title, lyrics, or mention it in any other ways. Get creative!

For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which songs that mention December do you want to hear?
