Lynn Vincent is calling for alternative names for “The Holiday That Must Not Be Named”. She suggests “Retail” or “Retail Season.” Others have offered “Santa Claus Day” and “Eatspendtide.”

Lars; I wonder if you can help me out. Once upon a time I had a record (yes, a record) of a norwegian singer (or scandinavian) of classical bent… who recorded a christmas album. (It was a double album as I recall.) I can’t remember her name. I wonder if you can remember such a recording. I’d like to listen to it again. (I’ve tried google, but have come up empty.)As I recall the music was of a baroque nature.
I’m sorry, Searider. Sissel’s the only one who comes to mind, and you must know her name if you’re hanging out here. You ought to try Sissel’s Christmas album though. It’s pure gold.
Thanks anyway Lars. This was I suppose twenty years ago… but I’ll keep looking.
Wouldn’t be Evie Tornquist-Karlsson, would it? She was American of Norwegian heritage, I think. No classical bent though.
Swedish-American, I think.
By the way, Searider, Sissel’s “Glade Jul” album is about 20 years old now. She was very young when she recorded it.
Thanks guys; but I’m beginning to think I dreamed the whole thing up. This was definitely (yeah right) a classical singer; and as I remember it this was a reissue of an earlier recording. And I think it may have been sung in norwegian or swedish. (I spent about an hour on search engines; so it may not even exist. My only hope now is looking thru some old boxes up in the ‘attic’ of the garage.)
Kristin Flagstad, perhaps?
