CiJ 2025-Day 25

Twenty five days in, this is the day that would be Christmas if it were actually December. But it's July and it's hot outside, so no presents for you other than these eight tracks of Christmas music. I will say that the highlight track of the day is a great one from the awesome Sarah Vaughan, even if it is only in mono. I picked this up at a slightly inflated price while I was on my honeymoon recently in St. Augustine, FL. I was excited to find a record store and even happier to find a great track for Christmas in July. I stepped up a bit and paid their price since I'd never seen the record before and I knew it would be a story worth recounting here. So there are a few extra reasons for you to enjoy this share today.
