Christmas Albums: Part 1 of 2

Number one in a pair of Christmas music posts.

Yes, it's the Christmas album for nostalgists like me: the 1989 album "Merry, Meery Christmas" from the only tolerable boy band there was, New Kids on the Block. Hey, at least it's not a Marilyn Manson Christmas album (you may shudder.... now.). Since this isn't a soundtrack post, this will be relatively short. The music is actually quite gopod, with only one track being noticeably dated ("Funky, Funky Xmas") but the rest is pretty good Christmas music. How does a straight guy like me know about this? My sister was a huge NKOTB fanatic back in 1990, and she got this. We listened to this every year before we lost the cassette. It was a memorable album for me, and to me, it still holds up. Spread a little Christmas cheer with this one.

1. This One's for the Children
2. Last Night I Saw Santa Claus

Update: SOrry, but I won't be able to do part two, which was a compilatyion album, as I didn't have a lot of christmas music in my collection. Maybe next year.
