I thought I would end this post with a video of Nat King Cole's Christmas classic The Christmas Song.

lovely covers. i enjoyed reading your blog. ;)
oh wow these are great, it is so cool to see all of those old illustrations! It is crazy to see what everything looked like before everything went digital
some really great album covers - dig that Rocket propelled Santa and Jackie Gleason's cover may need some more unwrapping
I don't think you could ever beat good old Sinatra at Christmas time!
Hi Keith! Some of these album covers are so familiar to me. I'm quite sure my dad had the Frank and Bing album before and I remember he had Ray Conniff too. I just wished he kept them but I think we kids had fun playing with his album collection before, playing as in throwing them like frisbees. Hahaha!
what a festive post. have a great day.
my folks have a lot of these xmas records and they're great!! i wish they had the Space Age Santa one though. i bet that's really cool.
the cover of the Jackie Gleeson LP is pretty choice to.
Cool man...real cool. ;-)
i like them all! but the tijuana one catches my eye most.
i wonder if it makes you want to drink tequila out of the bottle while rockin around the christmas tree.
definitely some great picks. oh i love christmas music!
Gosh: talk about retro-tastic album covers! I bet the music is just as good inside too. Jackie Gleason looks like a real shy and retiring type! :)
I have the number two and three from the bottom.;))
The rest is wonderful, cool to see all the old album covers.;)
Have a great Thursday.;)

All covers look great:)
Morning dear Keith! Well, it's pretty difficult to choose, but I like the 8th one down and of course Nat King Cole!
Thanks for posting the video, cannot watch it enough times!
Have a wonderful day!
xoxo
They are all awesome..but hands down my fav is #2 The great painting of Frank!
Dear Keith, what a fantastic Collection! You post is amazing, it has such a wonderful flare and Christmas spirit to it. I enjoy your Blog every time I visit it. :-)))
Space Age Santa is awesome! I love finding albums with cool cover art like these. Perfect for framing and adding to the decor! Nat's version of this song is my favorite!
Fantastic post! I picked the first album cover....until I got to the Jackie Gleason...which is my favorite. Absolutely.

My favorite of these is the Jackie Gleason cover. I'll check out those affiliates. I've done enough Christmas shopping for other people. It's time I buy myself something.
I actually have quite a few of these.
Great post!! I love Christmas Music!!!

I so adore the first two. The illustrations are tres adorable! :)
Hey there! I love the first one on the Rat Pack and the two "Christmas with Dino" albums. Fantastic covers.
I hope you're having a great week. Take care. Cheers!
I am really diggin' the Space Age Santa and the one below it with Santa on a rocket.

I love the Space Age Santa cover and that one of Dino by the fireplace is amazing. They are actually doing a Rat Pack Show at the Adelphi Theatre here in London, I thought of you when I walked past it! Hope you're having a wonderful week.
I was checking to see if it was only your other blog that was messing up today or if it was both.
I love Christmas!!! :)

WOW, I love all your album covers. My favorite is the Space Santa. Very nice! My husband and I love our Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin Christmas music. Great post!
My fave is a Christmas is Dino. :-)

These are fantastic, Keith!
Especially loving the second and last ones!
xoxox,

What a nostalgic grouping of covers! They look great.
Space Age Santa is my favourite! Of course one can't go wrong with either of the Christmas with Dino. Especially if you are having Christmas with Dino!!
Definitely the Frank and Bing one. I grew up listening to Bing Crosby every year at Christmas. His stuff is still really the only Christmas music I'll listen to.
Great post!
Great covers! Keep the "cool" in blogging.
You're doing a first rate job.
i love frankie!!!!!!!!
Hiya Keith.
hope you are well honey.
Love all these covers,what really stands out for me is how festive and cosy each one looks. Just looking at them gets me in the xmas spirit
xx

Love it Keith~ there's a few more here I'm sure you'll enjoy also
Fabulous post. I love the one of The Dino Christmas and I love the first cover of Frankie. :)
I like the cover where Dino is sitting pensively by the fire showing off five inches of white socks - he has a sort of Cosmo Kramer vibe going on here, or perhaps it is the other way around!
And the last cover struck me as quite funny because that certainly is NOT Jackie Gleason in the Santa suit!
I like all the other covers, too. I miss album covers - they are truly a lost art form. Thanks for sharing these, they are terrific.
"The Christmas Song" and Nat King Cole, elways in my Christmas...forever. Eternal Nat.
I want to hear Space Age Santa Claus.
This post is an absolutely delight, Keith, thank you for sharing so many of your favourite (marvelous!) holiday record covers with us. (I especially like the snowflake bedecked Frank Sinatra Christmas one.)
Wishing you an awesome week, my friend!
♥ Jessica
