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!

(34,139 posts)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.
