Nothing new was added, a fancy cover & booklet was thrown in, and that was that. Thanks to my overextended schedule of the last several months, I wasn't able to complete what I wanted to do for this season. Many albums I've obtained over the past year are sitting inside a box waiting to be touched. Several of these albums have been already shared out across the sharity network: <a href="http://ernienotbert.blogspot.com/2007/11/christmas-with-and-without.html">Arthur Godfrey - Christmas With</a> <a href="http://ernienotbert.blogspot.com/2007/11/baby-blues.html">Gary Mann - Christmas With</a> <a href="http://musicyouwont.blogspot.com/2007/12/santa-got-stuck-in-elevator-again-music.html">Seeburg - The Sound & Color Of Christmas</a> <a href="http://ernienotbert.blogspot.com/2007/11/ethel-second.html">Ethel Smith - Christmas Music</a> <a href="http://dartmansworldofwonder.blogspot.com/2007/12/25-posts-of-christmas-day-5.html">Santa's Helpers - All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth</a> <a href="http://ernienotbert.blogspot.com/2007/11/snowmen-in-florida.html">Swing Along With Santa's Snowmen</a> <a href="http://tunatwo.blogspot.com/2007/12/finally-christmas-characters-that-even.html">Susie & Allie - Christmas With</a> I've decided to sample the albums that you and I didn't get to hear. These are selections from full albums that I hope to share at some point down the road (unless someone beats me to it - <a href="http://ernienotbert.blogspot.com/">Ernie's</a> the 5:2 favorite right now). These won't be included in a zip file - I don't have the time to upload that big of a creature. Instead, these will be available as individual tracks so you can pick and choose the ones you want. I also have a front and back cover ready but no booklet. If someone wants to whip up a booklet using this <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10244100@N00/2102945161/">picture</a>, post a link in the comments section so everyone can get a copy.

In the next days and weeks, I will be helping my son with his first Christmas play at school - Alex is one of the Three Kings. My theater background should help him properly. My family's schedule is changing constantly (school, field trips, family trips, etc) and thanks to job description changes in my wife's job, I might be heading back to the workplace. I haven't drawn a paycheck since I became a stay-at-home dad eight years ago - this could be deadly. I'll try to post here as best as I can. Some things you should know: 1.) All of my shares will be taken down on Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008 - download 'em now! 2.) If there is something you would like to see posted in the future, please visit this <a href="http://christmasyuleblog.blogspot.com/2007/01/re-link-requests.html">entry</a>. 3.) We are not reviewing Christmas comps again next February - please refrain from sending anything (unless it's a real cool OOP Christmas album or money). 4.) My final share comes on December 26th at Otis Fodder's <a href="http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/365_days_project/">365 Days Project</a> - mark it on your calendar! I wish all of you a very Happy Hannukah, a Happy Sinterklassavond, a Happy Saint-Nicolas Day, a Happy Winter Solstice, a Happy Boxing Day, a Merry Kwanzaa, a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! War is over (if you want it)...
