It just isn't Christmas without...

another Christmas essential!
and lets not forget:

 

BIG TIME

 

Indubitably...

 

Good call on "Father Christmas" by The Kinks!!! Absolutely love it!!! Gigantic Kinks fan!!!

Now 2 people have mentioned it!!
Love The Pogues & that song top-notch a total Xmas classic!

 

Who Doesn't?

Number two in download's!

Right behind, Mariah Carey's, All I Want For Christmas Is You, in first place.

 

since I was a youngster...I had all their albums! LOL..

 

If YOUR local Christmas station is like mine (and I suspect it is)...just about every 45 minutes...

 

YEP

 

Glad Bob finally let this one out legit again

 

Good old Ray Rayner. It definitely wasn't Christmas when I was a kid until I'd seen and heard HC&J, Suzy Snowflake, and Frosty the Snowman.

 

The entire Goodyear "Great Songs of Christmas" series.
Here's one volume that was provided only to Goodyear franchise owners. It wasn't offered for sale and came in a deluxe, textured, gatefold cover. On colored vinyl, too!

 

Holy cow, @Clark V Kauffman that is one beautiful album package. I cannot imagine what you might get on eBay for that beauty, but of course if I were you, I would never sell it!

 

Yeah, it's pretty rare. Goodyear actually produced two volumes strictly for the franchise owners.
Here's the other one -- again, it was a textured, gatefold cover, but this one is a double album with each disc (contemporary and traditional) pressed on colored vinyl.

 

Yeah, that's my all-time favorite...

 

This is my favorite Christmas CD...so much so, that I often listen to it in the middle of the year, too. AND, I enjoy viewing the cover, too!

 

Joan Baez, Noel. We have opened gifts while this is playing for nearly 27 years.

 

Had this on a cassette when I was young, but forgot about it for many years. Rediscovered it a few years back, and now it’s an annual must-hear for me. Rod Stewart’s pristine take on Away in a Manger is the highlight, but the whole thing is a fun listen.
