Christmas with Nana Mouskouri immediately transports me back to my earliest Christmas memories. I'd be hard pressed to find an album that's more representative of Christmas in the 1970s than this 1972 gem. Behold, if you will the album cover alone: candlelight, ornate frame and wine goblets, fake holly - it's all there. The minute I hear Nana's voice I remember Christmas trees we chopped ourselves dripping with metallic icicles, red plastic bells hanging in the kitchen windows, the nativity figures that used to be printed on the Karnes bread bags that you could stick on the window and the big red Noel sign that Dad built to hang on the sliding barn doors. By the end of the holiday season you can bet my parents were pretty happy not to hear "Old Toy Trains" for another year...
