Merry Christmas!

My dad had a couple dozen records meant just for this time of year. So I HAD to come back for a Christmas Day music show.

I talked a lot in yesterday's deep dive into the music of the seasonal favorite, The Nutcracker. So we're going to do a lot of listening in this one…and thinking about Christmas dinner pasts.

This four record box set is filled with lots of holiday hits and some songs I’ve never heard before. Its source is one of the most beloved TV hosts and orchestra conductors from my youth.

So get ready to hear that effervescent music from holidays past complete with a longed-for litany of my family’s favorite holiday food items in Volume 252 A Champagne Christmas.

For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
