It just isn't Christmas without...

Eggnog

I don't particularly like it but it doesn't seem like Christmas without a gallon jug of it in the fridge.

 

Perhaps spurred on by Goodyear, B.F. Goodrich, in conjunction with A&M Records released this Christmas goodie, SOMETHING FESTIVE.



To this day, it still generates inquiries about the Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 "The Christmas Song".



The album always gets a play from me during the Christmas season.

 

My Christmas Lp biggies: (all STEREO, please!)

Nat King Cole :the Christmas Song
The Ventures Christmas Album
The Lettermen Christmas album
The Beach Boys Christmas album
The Ames Bros: They'll Always Be a Christmas (outstanding)
Percy Faith Christmas
Phil Spector (but its lost some of its luster since he's been in the big house)

 

I was getting out the Christmas tree ornaments today and ran across two cassette compilations I don't even remember making!
One is a tape with Nat King Cole's Christmas album on one side, with Doris Day's Christmas album on the flip.
The other is a tape of two of the Goodyear Christmas albums.

 

yes yes yes!!! you sir are a genius. anyone who poo poo's this and has not seen it should search it out this year. and the story behind it's creation (it was the FIRST animated xmas special) is amazing.

 

What about Bob's version of Little Drummer Boy? outstanding

 

i requested this from Santa under my tree this year

 

And the BluRay is spectacular.

 

this for sure. dec 15 every year we watch this and Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol back to back. that's when the season begins. and the cd is excellent.

 

Please Sir, you’ll turn my pretty little head!

 

I have showed this DVD for my guests every year, starting with 2012. Watched it the day after Thanksgiving this year.

TV: "A Christmas Carol" with George C. Scott, and Garfield's Christmas special.

I put this on in the car to work this morning. Wonderful! Thank you for making me aware of it.

 

Tonight 8:00 East Coast. One of my favorites also.

 

You Tube is becoming a Christmas Tradition

 

Many of my favorites mentioned here already but I have to say that every year I have to listen to "The Dean Martin Christmas Album" and "Paul Revere & The Raiders A Christmas Present ....And Past"

 

Christmas Eve, everything is done & everyone else is in bed, this is what I put on:

 

Got to page 4 without seeing Johnny sorry if its already posted. # 1 Christmas album for me



(Just saw it on page 6

 

Seeing your post just under mine - I never noticed before that Nat had apparently been skiing too!

 

Says it all really.

 

Here's another good version showing the lyrics.

 

...feeling happy that the average music listener is finally hearing some sophisticated, jazz harmony. For 25 days each year, people who would never choose to subject themselves to major 7 chords and tritone substitutes, are forced to hear them. Of course, most people should listen to more jazz than they do, but at least, for one month, there's no escaping it.

 

...a discussion of how problematic "Baby It's Cold Outside" is.
