On “Only on Christmas Day,” John Stoddart’s latest project of holiday original songs and covers, the Philadelphia native challenges us to retune. Stoddart’s latest project is the perfect musical conduit allowing listeners to shift their focus from the mainstream’s crass commercialism of Christmas to the holiday’s true essence.

That is because there has always been a consistency coursing through Stoddart’s music and life. Stoddart returns to themes of faith, family and charity whether he is penning tunes about the marriage relationship as he did on the tragically under appreciated “Faith Hope Love,” or singing Christmas favorites and originals on “Only On Christmas Day.”
