One could argue that early November is a bit early for holiday displays. A rational person understand a longer holiday season equals larger profits for retailers. But you know what? I don't care. I've bought into the idea hook, line and sinker. The first batch of kids' gifts are wrapped, my family is being harassed daily to get on Wishpot to update wish lists, and Christmas music has taken a place in our daily dance parties. Though a huge fan of Putumayo, I didn't realize until recently it's motto was "guaranteed to make you feel good" but it fits perfectly. Cool Baby Kid readers know of my long-standing love affair with Putumayo and A Family Christmas is yet another winner. I personally love the acoustic version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Jonny Bregar, but the kids' favorite is hands-down Debbie Davis & Matt Perrine's Mele Kalikimaka, an upbeat tune which manages to combine holiday and tropical in one catchy melody. Each song is accompanied with a story about the song's history in a package that is nice enough to give as a gift or keep for yourself as you join the rest of the world in starting the holiday season just a bit earlier this year. Are you giving in or waiting until post-Thanksgiving to get into the holiday mood?
Putumayo Family Christmas receives a *Top Pick* designation for being one of favorite companies and #1 selection for holiday music, with or without the kids!
