I wonder if anyone knows what is the plate? It is not on their website published, and I've tried googling but have found a wide variance, some have said 500 pages others have said, 3000 Does anyone know the exact Number?
I just read that, but 7514 was a Xanga site that I do not know how reliable is the …

Appearing just eight years after In the Spirit: A Christmas Album, This Christmas recycles a heavy chunk of that 2001 holiday affair, repeating “White Christmas/Winter Wonderland,” “Peace,” “On This Night,” and “Children Go Where We Send Thee” — about a third of both this record and its predecessor. The rest of This Christmas is filled out with new recordings, including McDonald’s quite good original “Every Time Christmas Comes Around,” all tending to be a little looser, a little less stuffy, a little more soulful than the rest of In the Spirit, reaching a peak on the wonderfully woozy New Orleans-styled march through “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” These newer cuts help push This Christmas in a different direction than the very good In the Spirit, making it slightly warmer and cheerier than its predecessor and, in many ways, better and more fun. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi Performers: Michael McDonald – Baritone Ukulele, Tenor Banjo, Organ (Hammond), Dulcimer, Vocals (Background), Piano, Vocals, Synthesizer, Piano (Electric), Bass; Charles Frichtel – Fretless Bass; David Hoffner – Synthesizer Strings; Barry Green – Horn, Trombone; David Angell – Viola; DeMarco Johnson – Harmonica, Keyboards; Drea Rhenee – Vocals (Background); George Tidwell – Cornet;
Hot on the heels of She & Him, Ash frontman Tim Wheeler and his singer/songwriter girlfriend, Emmy the Great, further add to the rather niche genre of indie pop boy/girl duo yuletide records with their unique collaborative effort, This Is Christmas. Written during a particularly heavy snowstorm that saw them stranded in Sussex following six canceled flights, and completed in New York in the midst of Hurricane Irene, its 11 tracks may have been conceived in rather fraught conditions, but there’s little evidence of it here. Inspired by the seasonal Wall of Sound productions of the ’60s, the glam rock Christmas number ones of the ’70s, and the synth-led festive guilty pleasures of the ’80s, the pair’s first full-length joint venture (which also includes Bloc Party’s Matt Tong on drums) is a resolutely feel-good homage that unashamedly revels in sentimentality, good old-fashioned nostalgia, and the odd knowing wink. Indeed, the fact that the album was originally to be released under the pseudonym Sleigher is indicative of the record’s playful nature, whether it’s the eerie “Silent Night” intro that opens the gothic alt-pop of “Zombie Christmas,” the cheerleader-style chanting on the quick burst of CSS-esque art rock that is “Jesus the Reindeer,” or the brilliantly corny “Deck the Halls” guitar solo that closes the sugary-sweet cover of “Marshmallow World.” But This Is Christmas is just as magical when it steps into more heartwarming territory. “Sleigh Me,” the first song they ever co-wrote together, is a gorgeously melancholic if slightly slushy folk-pop number that unexpectedly recalls the Beautiful South at their most wistful, the Spector-ish “(Don’t Call Me) Mrs. Christmas” is a delightfully charming tale that deals with the trials and tribulations of being Santa Claus’ other half, while “Christmas Moon” is an authentically vintage slice of ’60s doo wop packed with plinky piano chords, ghostly backing vocals, and luscious strings, courtesy of film composer Ilan Eshkeri. Elsewhere, the Beach Boys-influenced garage rock of “Christmas Day (I Wish I Was Surfing)” is a rare concession to Wheeler’s more familiar sound, while the acoustic campfire singalong of closer “See You Next Year” is more in keeping with Emmy the Great’s stripped-back sound, but on the whole, this is a different entity entirely from both parties’ usual fare. A welcome antidote to this year’s more conventional cash-ins from Bublé and Bieber, This Is Christmas is a joyous and affectionate affair that already feels like an instant festive classic. ~ Jon O’Brien, Rovi

CEMA Special Markets’ A Country Christmas with Merle Haggard collects ten Christmas carols, holiday tunes, and “If We Make It Through December,” all recorded during his glory years at Capitol. It’s not an official Christmas album — Merle didn’t head into the studio with the intent of cutting this specific record — but since all the music was recorded within a few years, it holds together very well. It may be a budget-priced compilation, but it’s one of the better country Christmas albums you’ll hear. A Country Christmas with Merle Haggard was reissued in 2007 as Hag’s Christmas with the same track listing but a different cover. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
It can be hard to buy Christmas gifts for the elderly people in our lives that we love. Many of these wonderful people are not capable of participating in the hobbies they once did, they have all the household items they need and the clothing items they need. At first thought, we may be at a lost at what to buy them that they will not only like, but may actually need.
Yet, there are a number of different things you can buy and a number of different services you can offer or you can pay someone else to do, that will not only brighten their holiday season, but may make their holiday season a little easier for them.
Here are a few suggestions.
–Offer to clean their house once a week or help them to maintain their yard. If you don’t have the time or think they would prefer a stranger to do these services for them, you could hire a cleaning service or a yard care service for them.
–Do you have a child in your household who always needs extra money? Is the child old enough to wash dishes? Discuss the idea of the child going over to the house once or twice a week to the dishes for him/her. You pay the child.
–Do you love to bake or cook? Bake a cake, pie or prepare a meal for the person.
–Give a gift basket filled with bath supplies. Include items such as sponges, lotions and soaps. Make sure the products are filled with moisturizes. As we age, our skin becomes dryer and dry skin can become rough and irritated.
–Give food baskets filled with anything from cookies, candies, meats, breads, wines, and crackers and cheeses and everything in between. Make sure anything that needs to be refrigerated, gets refrigerated as soon as possible.
–Offer to take the person to the grocery store or even to do their grocery store shopping or them.
–Visit them early (before the actually Christmas holiday). Ask if they need help decorating. Give them a whole afternoon of your time. Be sure to also help put the decorations away after the holidays are finished.
–Would the person enjoy a massage? Do you have a massage therapist in town? Old bones tend to hurt, especially in the cold seasons.
–Want a gift they can unwrap? Think about warm robes, warm slippers and even warm throws. Yes, they may have these all ready. But with age these tend to lose their softness. Be sure to buy the softness one you can find.
–Check and see if the person still has a working record player. Yes, record player. Older people still have a collection of records from their past. But many may not have a working player. Yes, you can still buy these. Sometimes they come in combination packages that include a CD player and radio. If the records are in storage, offer to help the person get them out and then set up the player for them to enjoy.
It can be hard to buy for the elderly. For one thing, they may feel like they have everything they need and want. In some cases, they actually may have. But we still have to take the initiative and we still have to try and find a special Christmas gift and special gift ideas for the elderly people in our lives. It is one way we can show them how much we love and cherish them.
