YouTube to the rescue! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgfsryZA3Gk

There are also other Edison Christmas records on YouTube, you just have to search a little.

I picked up the Blue Amberol of Albert Quesnel singing "Cantique de Noel" for the minimum bid. I guessed that the other bidders didn't recognize the title.....

Vaughn deLeath recorded a very cute Night Before Christmas reading on Edison 52131 - it was backed with Arthur Hall & "Christmas Songs for Children", which is kinda interesting ...

Cal Stewart apparently recorded more than one Christmas-themed story, but they must be pretty rare (I had to search for Uncle Josh & Christmas, just to see if there were any)
