Double Live! The Yule Logs (self-issued)

Sorry I didn't get a mention of this up before the holiday, but Chico, Calif.'s finest all-singing, all-dancing and all-Christmas-plus-Hanukkah band managed to get its fourth new album out for 2012. This one's a live album featuring performances of mostly songs from their first three albums; only the songs "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy," "Holiday Road" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" appear to be new to the recorded repertoire. But they're a good performing band and the album works in some humorous stage banter between songs. If you haven't sampled this band's work before, this is not a bad way to become familiar with them. It's at CDBaby, Amazon and iTunes.
