Festive Holiday Albums Review

Episode 5
Today we're going to take a look and listen to two Christmas / Holiday albums and learn a little history along the way. So, get your cup of hot chocolate and prepare to get into the Holiday spirit.
It's likely that a lot of people have a particular album, or even song which defines the Christmas / holiday season to them. The albums that define Christmas to me are Bing Crosby's I Wish You a Merry Christmas and Vince Guaraldi Trio’s A Charlie Brown Christmas.
