Last week, I reviewed a Christmas comp that was the last present I received last December. This CD was the very first present I received. Back in November, my good friend Martin Johns sent me his annual Christmas comps (which I'll be reviewing some time down the road). Inside the box was a wrapped C...

This is the very last Christmas CD I received as a present last December. It came from my best friend Joel who took a brief moment from his Indianapolis holiday getaway with his charming wife Samantha to check out a used CD store to see if there was something inside that I didn't have. Joel actually...

Since the beginning of 2009, I've been attempting to review Christmas CDs (and one other DVD) that I received as gifts on December 25th. The CD you see before you was a present from my son Alex who especially liked the "neat" cover artwork when ordering it from Amazon.com (with help from his mom). S...

This was a Christmas present given to me by my son Alex. In the past, Alex chose several Christmas albums (Oh Santa (Yep Roc), Gene Autry) to give to my on December 25th but instead echose a DVD on my Santa list. My Santa list contained several DVD titles and several that I asked for were under the ...

It's been 24 years since my Christmas music obsession began. Since beginning this blog nearly three years ago, I've alluded many times to my annual Christmas CDs that I create for family and friends. By now, many of my family and friends should have received their 2008 copy. This entry is strictly h...

All this week, I've been writing reviews for CDs that were sent to me at the P.O. Box. This one was sent last Christmas and I'm just finding time to write it up now. This is a crime because the good folks at Double Crown Records were kind enough to send me a copy of "Seasonal Favorites V1" which I r...

This arrived at P.O. Box a week before our last yuleblog entry. When I retrieved this, the glow from the shiny metallic green bubble mailer greeted me. I stopped in the lobby of the post office to check my other mail and began to get people staring at me. As I walked out of the post office, most of ...

This week I'm showcasing submissions that were sent to my P.O. Box and t his CD landed there last Friday - talk about great timing. Pop quiz: Who holds the record for most consecutive Billboard Club #1 hits? Mariah Carey? Good guess but no. Christina Aguilera? Not even close. Janet Jackson? She once...

This was another CD that was sent to my P.O. Box last Christmas that I never found the time to review and as a result, I probably will never get into "the Happiest Place On Earth" in my lifetime. With Christmas, 2008 five weeks off, this is good a time as any to review it for people on the lookout f...

At first glance, this may seem to be "just another Christmas organ LP". However, if you know your Christmas organ music like our friend Ernie (not Bert), then you know how totally wrong that statement is. First, let us travel back to an earlier time - December 9, 2005 to be precise. It was on this d...
