Vixen

Here's the next entry as we revisit the collections put out each year celebrating the best of Christmas In July, this time from 2009.  Each year I try to share all the Christmas and seasonal tracks I can find from non-holiday albums, highlighting the world of stuff that most people don't even know exist.  Each year I dig up a couple hundred tracks, then put them all together into some sort of collection.  I'm not much of a compilation builder, but I think these collections have really stood up well, though that may just be because I listened to them so much while creating them.  But give it a listen and let me know what you think!

    Hey Ernie... since your blog runs on comments, I figure that I better leave you one or two along the way.

    It really feels like Christmas to me when your are sharing out the joy -- Thank You So Very Much!!!

    In my searching through the usual shops for interesting LPs I used to normally just scan right past the Christmas Albums -- don't know why. Perhaps because my parents were a little obsessed with getting the annual Firestone Christmas Album when I was a youngster, and -as nice as those are- they still don't inspire me even though I do like them now.

    But _your_ selections do provide that inspiration to me, as well as a lovely joy of the season. I even listen to them at other times of the year, much to the consternation of others around me.

    Thanks again, I really appreciate it!
