For that decadent, easy listening Christmas sound...

...I recommend the three-record set, "The Sounds Of Christmas," by The London Sound 70 Orchestra and Chorus.  I haven't heard any of it on the radio since 1982, when KCFM played "Happy Holiday," but it's worth seeking out.  Some of the segues are tonally questionable; "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town," for instance, is out of place between "O Little Town Of Bethlehem" and "O Come All Ye Faithful," and "Frosty The Snowman" is in an odd spot between "I'll Be Home For Christmas" and "I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day."  Still, at 30 songs, it's a generous helping of soothing Christmas arrangements, released in 1970, that deserves a listen.
