Various Artists - Retro Christmas
Since Christmas is almost upon us, I thought it would be a great idea to share a special Christmas compilation with you fine folks. This is a custom made compilation made for this blog, the compilation features 25 songs, one for each day until Christmas day. The theme is as the title of the compilation suggests, mostly 50s, 60s and 70s Christmas songs. You will most likely recognize the titles, but probably not have heard them played like this (well, not all of the songs anyway). Happy holidays from Ultra Swank!

My name is Chris and I live in Sweden. I love the 50s and 60s lifestyle and design. I am very fascinated by the architecture of the period too, for instance googie, modernism, the work of Joseph Eichler, John Lautner and Arne Jacobsen's international style. I have a large archive with space-age, library, bossa, cocktail, retro soundtracks and exotica music. I also believe that things were better in the old days.

It looks like a very nice Christmas compilation.
Remind me of the Ultra-Lounge Xmas Cocktail.
Those compilations are my favorite for christmas...
Also Charlie Brown and Brook Benton with "This time of the year".
I know this is an early request.
But would you consider to reupload it for this year?
I'm intrigued...
Thanks in advance:)

Chris, I want to say that I count myself lucky to have found your site the other day.
Your compilations are really good, and I now - with almost childlike anticipation - join the ranks of those hoping for a seasonal re-upload of the christmas compilation.
