UPDATED with new tracks** on December 14: Time for what seems to have become my most popular annual post. Another round of vintage wax holiday recordings sifted through various Internet archives. Tired of the same old 24-hour Lite FM marathons? Tired of the over commercialized holiday music? Time to recall a simpler time when Christmas was more about the spirit, and not the annual business it has since become. Enjoy these in front of the tree or the fireplace with the lights turned low and enjoy. Merry Christmas!!!Oh You silvery Bells - (Bill Murray & Ada Jones)

Wonderful music, thank you!
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for 2010
