That first album with Doug and Stan going nuts looks like it might have some Christmas yodeling in it. You just can't find a good yodeling album anymore.
My mother still has the Chipmunks Christmas album. It gets hauled out when the grandkids are around.
When I was a kid, we had this automaton Santa. He is about 18 inches tall and battery operated. His arms swing back and forth, ringing a bell in his hand. His head turns slightly and his red eyes light up.
That's right. Glowing red eyes. We had Santa Mort at our house. There was an on-going disagreement between three of my siblins over who was actually going to get custody of Santa Mort when the time comes. Mom gave him to my big brother a few years ago.
I've warned them about Santa Mort, but he isn't listening.

Or a bad one either, for that matter... ;-)

OMFG! We had the same thing! Drove our dogs nuts...our English Bulldogs would hide when the thing was turned on, but our Miniature Poodle went into Ballistic Guard Dog mode and would attack Santamort...
It's terrifying to think that they mass produced that thing.
I've seen it on sale more than once on eBay so yeah, the thing was mass produced. I think my parents got theirs at Barkers or Korvettes, stores that were the Walmarts and K-Marts of their day.
Your dogs were very insightful.
Our bulldogs would hide while Coquette tried to kill it, with Greta, our toy poodle, lending Coquette moral support by staying just behind her and yapping like mad...
I'm going to tell mom that there is actually another family out there that had one.
Yep. I remember the batteries went into the soles of its feet.

Coquette must have been a Gryffindor... ;-)
