Just in time for the holidays, here is Ed Special's Jingle Bells X-mas special from 2007, originally aired on WCBN. More than 6 straight hours of Jingle Bells. And the best thing is: It never gets old!
MP3s broken down into 5 disks, 5 parts each:
Disk 1: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5
Disk 2: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5
Disk 3: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5
Disk 4: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5
Disk 5: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5
And if you want to track down the original recordings, here is the track list as PDF.

ADDENDUM: Just in time, I got the following email from Ed Special, with more links to madness and tomfoolery. (Originally intended to be posted in the comments section, but it deserves a more prominent space.)
Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement. The following links should provide sufficient Special Ed Xmas nonsense to curdle your eggnoggin.

Neat! The Story of the Naivete is great for Christmas Eve, this works well for opening presents on X-Mas morning. If you have any more Ed Special, it would be much appreciated!
