Saturday Matinee – Pre-Christmas Festivities

That’s a cover of one of the best songs of The Phil Spector Christmas Album from 1963, but it’s not Christmas until I hear Leroy Anderson‘s “Sleigh Ride” sung by The Ronettes.

Have a great weekend, folks, and I’ll make up for this later. Honest.

JackInTheBox 1800s
