Trash. Moving right along: Vince Guaraldi's Skating ― A Charlie Brown Christmas is an intense nostalgia rush. My family, esp. my brothers, might agree. Loved Ella's Sleigh Ride, but agree with your preference for second Two-of-a-Kind entry. Dexter Gordon's Christmas Song always welcome. Thanks.
Thx for listening and for your vote. I think the spirit of goodwill in the holidays played to Paul Revere's favor. Skating is brilliant. The good thing about the holidays is that you hear Vince Guaraldi playing everywhere.
Candidate for next year: In a worth-reading NYer personal history (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/12/22/081222fa_fact_smith), there was this: “The Goons’ ‘I’m Walking Backward for Christmas’ got an airing all year long.”
