A look back in time, back before trees all looked artificial, when

Christmas With Patti Page

time when rugs were nappy, throw pillows were thrown, and tinsel was really made
of tin.
Choice cuts: Jingle Bells, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Christmas Disco - This is a great
album! I'm serious! Very straight versions of popular songs on top of a
disco beat, sometimes with a brief female choir. Hilarious holiday fun!

Holiday Sing Along With Mitch -
It just wouldn't be Christmas without some noisy, echo-laden, Mitch Miller
sing-alongs.

Mantovani Christamas Carols -
This is THE classic Christmas album, its only real competition being the annual
Firestone albums (with the big ribbon and bow on the cover). Lush strings
played slowly and ponderously. Let's turn off the lights and gaze at the tree.
Choice cuts: The First Noel, Good King Wenceslas, O Tannebaum

Christmas With The Lennon Sisters -
Direct from the Lawrence Welk TV show, it's America's singing sweethearts, (L-R) Cathy,

We Wish You A Merry Christmas -
And finally, from my adopted home town, a local classic: the 104-voice 1969-70 Elyria Ohio High School A Cappella
Choir. A first-class performance and excellent recording, though not yet
available on CD. Thanks for coming, hope you enjoyed the show. Good night!
Choice cuts: Bring a Torch Jeanette Isabella, Fum Fum Fum, Deo Grazias
