As we get into the holiday season this year, we’ll be celebrating the arrival of winter with songs about the season, the weather and the time of year. Enjoy wonderful seasonal favourites in recordings from the 1920s through to the 1950s, brought to us by some fine singers and musicians, as these songs were performed for audiences celebrating the season in days gone by!
