I still have a decent amount of cassettes since I was getting into buying Christmas music when I was buying them regularly. I have the following: Elvis-Christmas Album (whatever it's called, the one Andrea reviewed) Connie Francis-Christmas in My Heart (my wife likes her a lot, so I was glad to find this. Don't know if it ever made it to disc. Even the cassette is old in style. There is a contemporary side and a religious side.) Christmas with the Brady Bunch (It was cheap, I HAD to get it! A song by each kid, plus a few others) Let's Celebrate Christmas (This was a cheapy my step mother got in a gift bag at an office party. Pre rock stuff-Lora would love it!) A Classic Cartoon Christmas (A great one from Nick at Nite. Songs from the Rankin-Bass shows, Muppet Christmas, Grinch and Peanuts. This was a Goldmine when I got it.) A Classic Cartoon Christmas, Too (So glad when I found this a few years later. Includes Heat Miser and Snow Miser, plus a few other Rankin-Bass.) Here We Come a-Caroling (This is a "no name" tape of choir music. The grocery store I used to work at had tapes each week at a cheap price, so I picked this one up.) Rock-n-Roll Christmas (Not the best Christmas Rock songs by any means. But it has Roy Orbison's Pretty Paper and an oddity from Paul Revere & the Raiders' Macy Window.) Dolly Parton-Home For Christmas (Picked this up at a library sale this year. Have yet to listen to it.) Alabama Christmas Barbara Streisand-A Christmas Album (Both of these were in a box of old tapes my in-laws friends were getting rid of, so we grabbed em. That's right, Lora, Babs! ) So how bout you?

I guess I should get that Barbra Streisand Christmas album. Actually, she's done more than that by now. At least two, I know for sure...
That "Let's Celebrate Christmas" sounds good. Could you list a few of the tracks for me?

Cool list of tapes! I'd love to have Christmas with the Brady Bunch and those two Classic Cartoon Christmas ones. The Snow Miser and Heat Miser songs are great - "I'm too much!"
I only have 2 Christmas cassettes:
20 Great Christmas Instrumentals - mostly sax, piano, guitar and banjo instrumentals with a country-western sound.
Christmas Favorites - various artists such as Tony Bennett, Jim Nabors, Barbra Streisand, Percy Faith, Bing Crosby, Ray Conniff Singers, etc.

It's cheap on tape and should be easy to find now, even if you have to go to one of the big chains, like Sam Goody or Coconuts.

I'll have to see if I can find it! I always meant to get all their albums when they were first re-released back in the 90s, but so far the only one I have is It's A Sunshine Day: The Best of the Brady Bunch.

I have 2 contemporary Christian ones: Larnelle Harris' "Christmas" (luv his version of "Sweet Little Jesus Boy" and his medley of "Let it Snow" and "Sleigh Ride"), and First Call's "An Evening In December" (highlighted by a very cute version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" which includes lyrics like "Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive shoppiiiiiiiiiiiiiing maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalls!"). Both are very good albums.
