Mooseyard Xmas

17 December 2008

Here’s a bunch of our favorite Christmas music, all packaged up for you to download & play. There’s some crooning, of course (gotta have Nat singing “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…”) but also fun pre-war novelty songs, big-band jazz, and killer surf instrumentals.
