Not merely reasonably content, but happy is this sleighlist! (I have no idea what I just typed.) You'd be happy, too, if you contained Bobby Helm's 1965 re-do of Jingle Bell Rock, plus the greatest of all cheap-label holiday classics, My First Christmas Tree, plus Linn Sheldon's Boofo Goes Where Santa Goes. Well, wouldn't you?
And... three by George Beverly Shea, a trio of dance-class renditions of Winter Wonderland (at three different tempos, er, tempi), and what I believe to be a contemporary (that is, 1958) cheap label knock-off of The Little Drummer Boy, though in a later issue.
I can feel it--you're hooked. You can't not download. So, download already! To the music: A happy sleighlist!

Thanks for some great playlists this season, Lee. There are several folks who no longer blog and share seasonal stuff, and you're helping fill the void with some great and unusual AND cool music this year.
Thank you!
ditto what Don said...excellent stuff, especially the Tops records, which bring back a lot of fun times I had as a kid who could not afford much better.
