Up here in Canada, Songpoem albums are hard to come by. Either Canadians never took up the offer to 'become a star' as often as Americans did, or they just had relatives in the US who sent them copies. So whenever I find one, it's a momentous occasion.
Especially when the used record stores have no idea what they are and charge $1 for 'em!
Here's the tracklist for 13 Christmas-themed ditties (and a couple that are not) for your holiday pleasure:
