Hopeful and cheerful music for tough times in the awful shambles of the crash ordinary Americans lost their life savings, their jobs, their homes, and their farms.
Christmases during the depression were austere, to say the least.
I saw momma kissing Santa Claus by Jimmy Boyd. Used to listen to it at Gram and Gramps house. Also Tell me a story same artist. Any one else ever hear that one?
Donald Sutherland – “…………..never heard of it…”
I love the very old Christmas Classics. There are newer recordings I enjoy, but many wouldn’t make it into Santa’s Sack.
I love these old songs. Merry Christmas…soon! 🙂
Well, that was a great big dose of nostalgia! When I was growing up, this was a record my parents played–I love it!
