Christmas with Carol Channing

If you’re like us, you love a good Christmas record. There’s Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald, John Lennon… And those are just the beginning. No matter how tangentially it’s connected to the holiday, we celebrate it. (Luke even has a whole Spotify playlist with just depressing Christmas songs titled, “Bummer XMas.”)

So, imagine our joy when one of our favorite Christmas music blogs, Ernie (Not Bert) posted this classic: Carol Channing reading “The Year Without a Santa Claus.” It’s got everything you look for in a Christmas record- plus, it’s hard to find, so you can show off to all your family & friends that you have a copy.

We’ll be falling asleep every night from now until Christmas listening to this record. Hopefully you will too.
