If anyone out there actually has a copy I could buy, or upload onto a website where I could get it, I would love to give it to my mother for Christmas because she loved it so much -- and the album was destroyed with others in a flood back in the seventies.

    Twas the night before Christmas and Santa is near
    All the children to dreamland will soon disappear
    But there's one little darlin' who won't close her eyes

    Sing ting a ling a jingle and hold me so tight

    Icicles on the window and snow on the ground
    Sing ting a ling a jingle 'til Santa comes round...

    Thanks and Merry Christmas (happy holidays; festive solstice, whatever floats your boat)...

    And then I found the album online.

    Cool!
