This week during, my Christmas Countdown, I'll be sharing some Christmas compilations I've compiled – each with it's own theme. Through the years I've collected way too much Christmas music so you might find something here that you don't already own. Today's theme is kids...enjoy![DOWNLOAD] A Franklin Mint Kiddie Christmas Compilation

***UPDATE***
I revised my Kiddie Christmas Compilation because I got a negative comment from a Quinto Sister. Their version of "Holly Jolly Christmas" (which was the first version ever recorded...before Burl) had gotten top billing in my mix because it's my favorite (I replaced it with "Santa Got Stuck In The Chimney" by Jimmy Boyd). It's a shame I had to take it off because you can't buy their album anywhere. People will never know the joyful sounds of The Quinto Sisters...unless you stumble upon their site...which streams the album for free. I suppose if it's yours you have the right to do that.
Cheers!

Hi,
You did not ask first before you started giving away our music. If you want to appear generous, give the product of your own work away. I must ask you to immediately cease and desist from giving away our tracks.

Problem rectified. Merry Christmas.
Thanks for posting the "mostly" out of date and out of print music.
Hah...As if the one Quinto sister expects royalties anyhow? She was lucky to have even been posted for people to "rediscover". I know I've never heard of the Quinto Sisters. Most of the artists I've seen on this blog are already deceased, (or if not, their careers pretty much already are).
I think blogs like yours helps new generations RE-discover the vast amounts of once-was musical treasures. I am late into my 30s, and I am rediscovering the likes of Louis Prima, Louis Jordan, Lionel Hampton, Glen Miller, etc etc, all because of blogs similar to your own. I've been lurking the music blog world for quite some time, and am sometimes amazed I have not heard some of the stuff out there! Anyhow, thank you again, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thanks for the kind words John. Merry Christmas.
Wrong attitude, John. Artists have the right to make requests like this and we have to honor them. True, where would artists be without their listeners? But where would the music be without the artist? It wouldn't exist. It's their music first, then ours.
And what's with this dissing old artists with "dead" music careers? At least they had one.
