The Second Best From Christmas In July Past-Part 1

What else have I got for you up my sleeve this season? Well, I spent a lot of time thinking about what I could share that didn't involve such a huge investment of time, money and energy that comes with finding more Christmas music. What I found was that I've shared out thousands of tracks during Christmas in July, but only a few of them make the annual best-of collections. And because I try to limit myself to one version of each song, and only one track per artist, there's often a lot of tracks that I leave out that are still pretty good. So that's what this is, a collection of songs that got shared out years ago, but never made it onto a collection of the best tracks of the season. I guess that makes them the second best songs, and thus the name. Here's the first volume of The Second Best From Christmas In July At Ernie (Not Bert)-Part 1. Enjoy, and stay tuned, there are more volumes to come.
