Christmas music and the ‘70s, these are just a few of my favorite things. Since I believe in Father Christmas, our Christmas card to you will include a little St. Nick up on thehouse top in a winter wonderland. Hey America, oh come all ye faithful as we take a sleigh ride through some of the most popular Christmas albums of the ‘70s.
