67-Not Really Christmas

It's late in the season, so I figure it's OK to share some of the stuff I've collected from The Internet Archive that isn't strictly Christmas, but could easily slip into your Christmas playlist without too much notice. Songs about toys, or holidays, some festively titled instrumentals, all sorts of stuff that you may or may not find interesting. If you've ever been around these parts during Christmas in July, you'll know that all sorts of stuff is fair game. I've tried to be a little more selective this time around, hopefully you'll enjoy it all.

    Thanks, Ernie for a great post. Always nice to have holiday themes that are a bit, if not a whole lot different then the same run of the mill selections. Really enjoyable. Hope you have more of these kinds of songs in your pile. If not, maybe when Christmas in July rolls around, we will get more surprises... Bryan

    You know, I never have done a tango with an Eskimo, or anyone else for that matter.

    Nice stuff here - many thanks!

    Thanks for the kind comments, all. Has it been a month since Christmas? Seems like only last week. :) But I guess Christmas 2021 will be here before you know it.

    It has indeed been a month since Christmas. It's only 11 months until Christmas! What is that, like 330 shopping days? I can hardly wait!
