whenever i go to goodwill there's dozens of random, arcane old records from the 50s, many being chrismas compilations. i cannot emphasize enough how many christmas records. why?

why christmas? there are other cool holidays. why so many at goodwills? elvis did a bunch. why? why? who cares about christmas that much? i assume society was more traditional and non secular back then, but still, there's always just a staggering amount

What other holidays have specific music associated with them?

Probably some hidden law somewhere or a secret amendment to the constitution. It's the same one that states that every Goodwill must keep a vinyl copy of "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass in stock.

That is weirdly specific and also 100% true - I’ve seen that album in almost every Goodwill where I’ve checked out the vinyl
