I allow myself to listen to Christmas instrumental music anytime, but nothing with words until 11/1. And Abby, Thanksgiving is a day. Christmas is a season! 🙂 Enjoyed this! NSync was one of my favorite Christmas albums. Also love Michael Buble's Christmas album!! My wife grew up listening to the Oakridge Boys Christmas album. We still put it on when we make cookies!

I literally laughed out loud at the Billy Idol album, I will have to check this one out! My favorites are any of the Bob Rivers comedy Christmas albums. And it doesn't feel like Christmas if I haven't listened to Weird Al's "Christmas At Ground Zero", it's so sick but funny too LOL "And they also hit grandma" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can picture you newlyweds acting all fancy by the fireplace listening to Harry Connick Jr. album😂. Turtlenecks might have been involved. Mine is the Chipmunks Christmas albums and a Very Special Christmas album. Also like the Waitresses "Christmas Wrapping".

A very Mancini Christmas by Henry Mancini and his orchestra. I was negative eleven years old when it came out but it’s something my family played every year.

I like the Christmas albums from Trans Siberian Orchestra. A little more rock and metal, for me, personally. I do enjoy your folks’ channel.

Ok it wasn’t literally my favorite Christmas album,but I had the Star award Christmas album.
Abby,you don’t know the answer to this question,but if Keith had this album,he at least knows the question.
What do you give a Wookie for Christmas,when he already has a comb?
My favorite Christmas song,as I don’t have a favorite album is “fairytale of New York” by the POGUES!!
It’s funny and coarse and it will make you cry and embrace your sweetheart all at once.
It’s the best Christmas song ever(to me).
Speaking of Christmas,I got a weather forecast for you,Abby!
No avalanche this year,but all known Doppler meteorology tech is predicting a Swatch snowball rolling your way.

My favorite of all time is The Carpenters "A Christmas Portrait". It's not Christmastime until I hear Karen Carpenter singing "Merry Christmas, Darling". Also, a lot of Johnny Mathis is on the regular rotation at the Coverly house. Brings back all the nostalgic feels.

I have no idea who Elmo and Patsy are. The biggest song of the 80s was "Do they know it`s Christmas" by Band Aid. It was the best selling 7" single of the complete decade. And don`t forget Last Christmas by Wham! Released in 1984, it became a blast every year. Last Christmas is #1 at the charts in UK, Germany and Austria. Last Christmas by Wham! is everywhere in Europe.

Loved the Christmas album picks. My favorites are Elvis Presley, Perry Como, and New Kids On The Block, of course. anything from 50s and 60s are so fun.
Favorite 80s Christmas song is The Waitresses “Christmas Wrapping.”
