OK - who can remember this LP being played by their parents during the Christmas season

My dad bought the Firestone and Goodyear LPs. I particularly remember this one - I was 7 at the time. Didn't think I'd ever hear it again - but...here it is!

[Yavin4]

6. Christmas albums are big money makers for record companies. n/t

[Freddie]

7. I remember going to the Firestone store with Dad to buy these

Wonderful records. Thank you! I will listen when I wrap presents.

8. I recognize a bunch of those renditions for sure, not sure if it was THIS album or if they've

appeared on others as well, but ... very possible this one was in the family!

[Midnight Writer]

We used to sit there and sing with them, knew all the words! (still do)

[KT2000]

17. Yes!

[NBachers]

18. I've never seen this album before, but I'm listening to it now. I've sent my son's family a link.

Imagine that- corporations actually having the heart and devotion to put something like this together.

In a sense we had the best of all worlds - our own music and yours
Right now they are recording Christmas music for virtual shows at the studio next door They are recording outdoors because of Covid. - it is quite lovely

[Glorfindel]

22. I don't know if I remember this specific album, NRaleighLiberal

but the sounds are extremely familiar. 1963 was the year I graduated from high school! Thank you so much for sharing this album!

[Archae]

23. We only had this in that series, at the family home.

[csziggy]

24. Yeah, my parents had all those tire store Christmas albums, too

Dad would play them sometimes but his favorite record player was in the Florida room so he didn't do it much when the family was having Christmas celebrations in the living room.

But then in 1978 he and Mom bought a new house with an intercom system. He'd play Christmas albums starting after the Thanksgiving meal until everyone went home and then on Christmas Day. We made a mistake by figuring out that if he played the albums ten hours a day all the way from Thanksgiving until he played them all, he'd run out of Christmas music sometime around the first week of January. Mom threatened us all with bodily harm if he ever actually tried to do that.

After they died my sister had trouble getting rid of all those albums. She'd take them in batches to different thrift stores until they begged her to stop.
