"The Connecticut College Holiday Card 2022 features Kate Rushin, Professor of English and Poet in Residence at Connecticut College, reading her poem “This Time of Year,” celebrating the 2022 holiday season and the upcoming New Year. The poem acknowledges that even in the darkness, there is hope. It underscores the importance of light in our celebrations.
The imagery signifies the various ways light welcomes and warms our gatherings. The music bed set a magical mood, contrasting the warmth of Rushin’s voice with brightness of sound while supporting the message of hope in the darkness of the season. The video outperformed the already successful 2021 holiday card."
