Does anyone remember these Christmas albums when they were young?

This is the music my parents played when I was really young....goofy, corny, but so nostalgic! I think they were available from the Goodyear and Firestone tire stores!

it on Spotify! Which I did....and it did indeed bring back memories!

Seems like the Goodyear and Firestone ones can be purchased here and there as well....at some point I assume they will make their way to easily found mp3 downloads....

holidays. I own all of the above and a couple hundred more. he gave me his massive classical and opera record collection along with the christmas records they're all in my basement with the records I collected, at least 5000 lps. I even found my original Alvin and the Chipmunks records mingled with Dad's Puccinis. We never knew pops was an Alvin fan too.

Played them nonstop when I was a kid. Loved them so much, in fact, that when I moved out on my own, I took them with me.

black tires, because the record was black and the cover said Firestone, and I wondered what car tires had to do with Christmas. But the music was good.
