Xmas Cookie Santa 1 Pol's Pick

This is part of my Xmas Cookie series, but a side connection. All of the songs on this spinoff are about Santa. So there are a couple of doubles, sorry. I like those Santa songs a lot. But it's just one or two from some of the previous Xmas Cookie volumes. Either way I hope you like them in this new setting. Songs like Nick's Early Years, or the perspective of two women who love Santa in My Man is too good to leave off. Don't worry lots of others in here that are not on any of the previous picks. A couple of traditional songs, some that will become classics and a few more out there Santa Songs. Gotta like the Santa cookie cover. Makes you wonder, does Santa eat himself if he eats that cookie?

Another set of very cool Santa songs. A very few have appeared on previous Xmas Cookies before. This one includes the amazing Jorge Buccio, and also Fishbone, Deadbolt, Fitz & the Tantrums and the Beach Boys. All songs about Santa. Except for Saint Nick appears as does Sanity Claus.

Xmas Cookie 5 Pol's Pick

Continuation of the Xmas Cookie saga. Some old and some new. One of my favorite tracks from the movie Holiday Inn . Not strictly a Christmas movie since it covers all the major holidays with songs, but I watch it every year anyway. It isn't going to play on regular TV, though because of some blackface scenes, but ignore the historical references and just enjoy the music. The Snow track is superb. Nina Hagen one of my all time favorite artists, plus more Dean Martin mix it up with a couple of more recent tracks I enjoyed. As usual, click on the Reindeer Cookie cover. Notice that some of the same songs appear in each volume, but with different artists? Like Mele Kalikimaka. Whenever I can, I do.

Xmas Cookie 1 Pol's Pick

I love Christmas. And I love Christmas songs. Especially the more unusual ones. It's just one of those things I collect. I started making Xmas cassettes years ago. Designing covers and giving them to family and friends . The Xmas Cookie Pol's Pick series is a copy of the first CD's I made following all of that. I hope you enjoy some of these, are offended by at least a few and hopefully there's one that you have never heard before that you end up loving like I did in this series. I'll post a few of them over the next couple of days until Christmas. I'm guessing that a few of these have not yet been in your regular Christmas song list. Unless you worked at Digi-Design when they first got started, you won't recognize, Hieronymous Johnson, for instance. He went by several names and bands in the Silicon Valley Bay Area. Some are obvious hits from the time. Enjoy them all. I especially love the Swamp Zombies, Romy and Conch because they nailed it. And the Fluf, Deadbolt and Steve Poltz are perfect for the Grinches in your life. BTW, none of these in the series is completely SAFE for work or kids, so please listen first. I love the plain cover, too.

Xmas Cookie 3 Pol's Pick

Number three in the series of Pick's for Christmas. This Xmas volume again has a version Mele Kalikimaka. I put one in whenever I can find a version. One of the first Christmas albums that I wore out was Bing Crosby's White Christmas which had that song on it. Since I, at the time, lived in Southern California where I never saw snow and they decorated palm trees, I immediately was drawn to the song. Still love it today, even though I don't see decorated palm trees at Christmas much anymore.  A couple of things about this volume. First it has one of the first "doubles". If you got the Christmas G volume, you'll notice the Gayla Peevey and Peter Alsop on there as well. Sorry, but I did this one first and later made the G rated one and realized that those songs had to be on the G volume. This one also has Kate Bush, one of my favorite artists of all time. And a bunch of really cool songs, including the Tryfles from a Midnight Xmas Mess compilation lp (I've never seen it on CD or MP3 before, so enjoy). Those are some great lp's so look for them. Notice the cover is another cookie and leave a comment and tell me what you liked. And yes, I know King Missle isn't "really" a Christmas song, but it fits so well anyway.
