And if you write to My Craftsman Dept. and wish them a Merry Christmas, then, uh.... Santa Claus will visit, I guess. (I can't read the text right now--it's too small):
Only $10.00 down! Oh, it's for a "real workshop." Cool.
Meanwhile, we're going to experience Part 1 of this year's Jingle-Bells-athon, which--as the title suggests-consists of multiple versions of Silent Night. This isn't a mix; I don't do those. I don't care for mixes. Don't know why--it's just me. And this non-mix-athon is just Jingle Bells.
Maybe I should have called it that (Just Jingle Bells). Oh, well. Too late:
Link to Jingle-Bells-athon.
The artists are:
Buddy Cole
Unknown (from Treasure label LP)
St. Nick
The Royale Orchestra
Buddy Cole, again (this time, with chimes)
Williams Brothers (including Andy)
A.V. Bornand Music Box Collection (not all of them, of course)
Johnny Mathis, w. Ray Ellis (arranger and conductor)
Jesse Crawford, organ, with Botticelli, chimes. I do not know who "Botticelli" is, but he plays a mean chimes.
And we wish you a Merry Christmas from 1928 or 1929. And I see that the elephant got out of my pajamas. I think I'll toss them out....

I just spent the better part of two hours organizing Christmas music - I counted twenty two versions of Jingle Bells and didn't even bother with Sleigh Rides and Santa Claus is Comin to Town. I'm Bell Carolled out. But I decided that I'm going to burn CD's as cards this year (we always roll our own cards rather than buying them) and put the umpteen versions of the same songs on each - sort of "Christmas Variations on a Theme".
At the rate this is going, by Christmas, I'll have a butt bigger than the tree.....
But its still only November!!
Christmas music is timeless!
Or maybe I'm thinking of Christmas sales....
