I headed to Goodwill this morning to pick up some “new” vinyl records.  Here’s what I came home with on this trip:

• Johnny Cash - Happiness Is You (Columbia CS 9337), 1966
• Perry Como - The Perry Como Christmas Album (RCA LSP-4016), 1968
• Kimbo Records Presents Early Childhood - Series 5 Christmas Fantasy (KLP-7005), 1970?
• Kimbo Records Presents Early Childhood - Series 8 Friends of the Sea (KLP-7008), 1970?
• The Royal Choral Society - Yuletide Hymns and Carols (RCA LCB-1044), year unknown
• Lil Scrappy - Gangsta Gangsta (BME Recordings/Reprise Records PRO-A-101788), 2006 [This is for Jeff's enjoyment.]

As a fun sidenote, 9 times out of 10 you can find either a Christmas record or a Kenny Rogers record…and sometimes Kenny’s Christmas album.  If your local thrift shop only has one or two albums in stock, it’s a good chance that it’s one of these. (And occasionally John Denver.)

Somebody please tell me that there are two sizes of Holiday Mint M&M’s his year.  I just opened my first bag of the season and these things are huge (comparatively speaking to what we’ve had in the past).    They’re just slightly smaller than the Peanut Butter M&M’s, and I had to look at the bag to make sure that wasn’t what I was holding.  They’re still mint flavored M&M’s, but I want to find some “normal” M&M sized ones.  The hunt begins.
