“Season’s Greetings From moe.”

The three main things I enjoy about the magical eight-week period between Halloween and Christmas: the food, giving gifts and festive holiday music.

And I don’t wait until Thanksgiving to press play on my boombox. There are far too many awesome holiday albums to only play them for a month.

My husband, aka Johnny Vinyl, has helped me amass an extensive collection that is quite eclectic. Before it became so popular for artists to release Christmas albums (Neil Diamond, who is Jewish, has cashed in with a handful of holiday albums), John made me Christmas mixed tapes.

I have everything from Mannheim Steamroller, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and the “A Very Special Christmas” series to Billy Idol, Twisted Sister and Johnny Cash. And more than a dozen years ago, he ordered Bob Dylan’s “Christmas in the Heart.”

As a big Dylan fan, I was excited. Although, after listening to it several times, I told John that maybe traditional Christmas music wasn’t really Dylan’s thing. Designed as a joyous hymn, his version of “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” was more like a funeral march.

My comments, John said, bordered on blasphemy. However, I continued, “Do You Hear What I Hear?” — no offense, but yes, Zimmy I do, and it sounds like you’re “Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door.”

Currently getting a lot of play is “Season’s Greetings from moe.” Originally released in 2002, a friend gifted us a limited edition re-release that is pressed on red and white splatter Christmas-colored vinyl. It’s a sweet mixture of old favorites, classic gems and a couple of original tunes.
