Exclusive! Lewis Bailey's Christmas playlist!


A few days after we brought you the playlist for the Disneyland's Main Street USA Christmas music loop, A CD arrived in the Tabloid Baby mailbox containing Lewis Bailey's latest Christmas mixtape. The world-renowned videographer, photojournalist and homebricker from Bailey Mountain, Georgia, is also Tabloid Baby's country music expert, so we were more than a bit surprised to find barely a country song among the lot-- unless you count Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree by Bailey cousin Brenda Mae Tarpley-- but settled in for a long car ride as we were transported back to the days we'd pick up the Christmas compilation albums at the Firestone Tire store.

The list of Lewis' Yuletide selections follows. Now find the songs!

  4. You are wrong about Leroy Anderson--He had nothing to do with the song.

    1948
    The Christmas classic was composed during a July heat wave while Anderson lived in Woodbury, Connecticut. Words were added by Mitchell Parish in 1950, who also added words to six other Anderson works after they became popular.
