I'll definitely have to head over to YouTube to hear these. June Christy's SOMETHING COOL album was one of my favorite discoveries earlier this year.

Huh. Maybe I didn't get around to listening to this last year. But I gave it a "spin" on YouTube today.

Mrs. Phelps knows "The Merriest"! When "Hang Them on the Tree" was playing, she asked if that was the same delightful gal who sang the song that had the words, "Smiles for the frowners/salutes to the uppers/boosts for the downers..."
"The Merriest" couldn't be a drug song, could it? Nah.
Holy smokes! I didn't catch those lyrics!

It is the second most depressing Christmas album ever, next to the Gleason!
Moved this over from the Gleason, since the topics had become intertwined but relevantly so.
From the Christy-Rugolo album, my favorite is still "Hang Them on the Tree":
"As the end of the year is drawing near.
These are things I can't discard,
But it shouldn't be too hard
To find a way to use them,
Since I can't give away or lose them.
"I'll take the sorrows of last November,
Make them a part of Christmas Day,
Color them shiny bright and gay,
And hang them on the tree.
"I'll take the quarrels of last September,
Cold with the words all sad and grey,
Cover them with a silver spray
And hang them on the tree."
It's "making lemonade out of lemons" but in a Christmas song(!)
