Day 7: Record from your childhood

This record isn't from my childhood, but watching Jim Henson's Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas certainly was. I was only a year old when it first aired on HBO, but I can remember it airing many times in the 80's on HBO, usually along with Fraggle Rock episodes.

I missed out on a non-picture disc last year for BFRSD, so I had to get this one....it sounds fine.

I may have missed it.

But you are correct.

Day 10 - Movie
Soul Christmas

I think the Otis Redding White Christmas (one of my favorite versions) is in Love Actually.
