Christmas Frosty

Am I the only one who is nutty about the old Goodyear Tire & Rubber Great Songs of Christmas albums from the 1960’s? Volume 6, pictured below, is a favorite of mine from my childhood. I found it on eBay and snapped it up like a doughnut-shaped chocolate morsel. I like some of the new [...]
