Always on the lookout for these.......

Lock 'N Load, Mommy......

This one is making pretty good sense to me, 'bout now........

If you bought me a Hoover, I'd use that Daisy air rifle on you....... ;)

 Yup, all my friends are asking for my ironing table, too.....I feel your pain, Sister..........

Yeah, Thanks, another vacuum cleaner.....guess what you're NOT getting any of this Christmas season, honey...... ;)

Yeah, next they'll all be fighting over it....using those Daisy air rifles that you bought them.....

Yeah, my family would sooo love me for buying everyone matching clothes...what a great idea! Why hadn't I thought of THAT before??

Another holiday LP that you don't seen often....Bobby Darin..."The 25th day of December"-1960

I thought this one deserved a post....you don't hear it often, and it's really quite good. It's different than many holiday LPs of the era...more serious, no Rudolph, no Frosty....it even swings a bit.....it's a nice listen.

O come all ye faithful
Poor little Jesus
Child of God
Baby born today
Holy Holy Holy
Ave maria
Go tell it on the mountain
While shepherds watched their flocks
Jehova Hallelujah
Mary where is your baby
Silent night

Amen
