Start counting down the 12 days of Christmas with a Thrifting for Tunes holiday show...
Song 1 : : The Most Beautiful Place
Artist : : Mikael Sundin
Album : : Sundin’s Happy Holiday
A little Christmas shopping music from a private pressing from a couple of years back. Great stuff...

Song 2 : : The Island of Misfit Toys
Artist : : Brian Dewan
Album : : Hello Family Santa Special
Great version of this song from the classic holiday TV special. Some Brian Dewan info here.

Song 3 : : Mister Santa
Artist : : Lenny Dee
Album : : Happy Holi-dee
Loved the silly “Dee” names of many of Lenny Dee’s albums (my favourite: The Lenny Dee-tour).
* * *
Song 4 : : Ding Dong Dandy Christmas
Artist : : The Three Suns
Album : : A Ding Dong Dandy Christmas!
My favorites! So glad they have a Christmas album.
* * *
Song 5 : : White Christmas
Artist : : The Waikikis
Album : : Christmas in Hawaii
Really bizarre sounding Hawaiian record by this Belgian band... not really all that Christmas-y (aside from this track, it mostly sounds like Hawaiian-flavored Oktoberfest music).
* * *
Song 6 : : Dominick The Donkey (The Italian Christmas Donkey)
Artist : : Lou Monte
Album : : The Best of Lou Monte
I grew up in an Italian neighborhood but I doubt any of my neighbors ever listened to Lou’s great Italian-American shtick.
* * *
Song 7 : : Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
Artist : : Pietra Wexstun
Album : : Last Call Christmas
I served one too many Mauna Loa eggnogs... and Pietra put a new twist on this holiday favorite.
