So, It's later on.... and I missed the fun.

My favoritest Christmas tape is the one my sister made with Jo Stafford (40s swing) singing winter tunes like Let It Snow. Then Willie Nelson singing Chritmas classics, and closing out with Luciano Pavorotti singing Ave Maria and Adeste Fideles before the tape runs out.

I'ma get out my holiday music, and get jolly.
