Via WNYC, comes A Very Jolly Synthesized Christmas:
David Garland presents vintage recordings of holiday favorites performed on Moog, Buchla, and other analog synthesizers.
You might think this sonic tinsel would seem synthetic, but it’s full of genuine joy and warmth. Hear highlights from albums released in the late ’60s and early ’70s, including Douglas Leedy’s “A Very Merry Electric Christmas to You,” The Moog Machine’s “Christmas Becomes Electric,” and Sy Mann’s “Switched on Santa.”
And as a bonus, a Christmas visit with The Beatles!
You can listen to A Very Jolly Synthesized Christmas below:

It’s great to hear those lovely synths at work, but it brings up a lot of images of a very psycho christmas…
What a treat! Thank you so much. I loved this era of Moogsploration.
Oh wow! What a mix! Seriously nothing more christmasy than the whole npr vibe, then to top it off with all these sounds… I just need a newspaper and some coffee
this is pretty good!
