It Goes To Eleventh Day of Blogmass
One of the many albums of its type, I like this one specifically because it belonged to my grandparents, and was a holiday tradition on their Silvertone console stereo. It was originally released in 1958 (I think) and has had a couple of reissues since.
Apparently there is a red vinyl edition, which fuels my OCD.

I found one at Goodwill this year (2013) and almost left it behind. I decided to check the quality of the disc. Lo and behold, it's a red one!
