The repertoire is a mix of sacred and secular Christmas music with many recognizable Christmas favorites.

Limited red colored vinyl LP pressing. Shellac instead of stardust when Santa Claus takes off his boots and unpacks the gramophone after his work is done Bear Family Records® delves deep into the shellac box! No intrusive bells, chumming ho-ho's or strangely distorted reindeer voices Every year around the same time the displays of the department stores are bending with hastily and often suspiciously similar compiled 'swing' samplers, since swing is coming back.

'Windup', by the way, refers to the suitable playback device with a crank; from today's point of view, very sustainable and environmentally friendly! Big names like Glenn Miller - with a very special Jingle Bells version, recorded live on Dec 24, 1941!!! - Paul Whiteman, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Barnet, Count Basie or Ella Fitzgerald as well as Putney Dandridge have expressed themselves in their own way on the subject of Christmas.
