    Nearly 2 full hours of Kmart Christmas muzak from 1974.

    I don't know about you guys but I'm in the holiday mood after listening to this.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      My favorite parts are the old Kmart jingles and announcements.

        nice one. Would love to know where the pic is from. Looks a lot like the one in LaSalle/Peru. Spent many a Sunday there sitting in the car with my dad listening to the Cubs or Bears on the radio while waiting on Mom.

            Yeah, it's actually quite pleasant. Just some nice retro holiday music you can leave on in the background.

                      ^ It immediately made me think of the zealous organ-playing neighbor in Edward Scissorhands. I sure don't see a Christmas connection.

                          A little more Kmart Christmas to set the mood.

                            As nostalgic as this makes me feel, it also makes me sad.
                            Mainly because the picture of the Kmart in the video looks a lot like our local one that closed several years ago.
                            It also happened to be the only department store in our city, so I spent a lot of time there.
                            And at this point there is only one operating Kmart in about 150 mile radius.

                              I never set foot in a K-Mart until I was 15 years old. (they just weren't around in the places I lived up until that point), but I remember department store Christmas "muzak" playing in other places like Macy's, Gimbels, and maybe Woolworths. But the first part of that "Merry Merry Christmas" jingle in the '79 ad was still going in the 80s.
                              "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
                              'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                              Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                              If your mission is magic your love will shine true."
