Terrific classic Christmas radio shows.

If you're a fan of old time radio you'll love this. Most of these shows are a half hour or less so they're great for a quick listen, and you don't have to be familiar with the shows or the casts to enjoy them. They're also totally family friendly so this is a great option for when you're wrapping gifts or just need a little quiet time. The kids will stop bouncing off the walls while they listen and can colour or do some other quiet activity while you take a break from the holiday craziness.

I've bought two other classic Christmas radio compilations and this is the best by far. My only minor complaint is that the sound quality on some of the shows is a little lacking, but considering most of them are 70 years old (or older!) it's to be expected. I'm really glad I bought this...highly recommend it.
