When I was a kid, I was amazed and amused that just about every major (and some minor) artists had certain albums or singles that were only available at the end of the year. Why? 'Cause they was Christmas records. But as I got older I realized that for every genuine holiday classic - like say, the Sonics'"Santa Claus" or the Jackson Five's "Xmas Won't Be The Same This Year" or the Ventures' holiday elpee - there were some Xmas rekkids that were utter malarkey, like Jimmy Smith's or Rev. Horton Heat's.b, 21b, 21And now, most cities have at least one all-Christmas station from Nov. 1 to Jan. 1, at which time they go back to playing whatever the hell they were playing before.b, 21b, 21So what's your take on holiday records? I'm not askin' for a Top 10 list of faves, but do you think that Xmas records are a good idea or just a lame attempt at product that you'll only play once?
