For those who find themselves pin for a taste of the past during this holiday season should point their browsers towards Paul Fucito's blog and get to downloading.
He's collated links to 35 vintage Christmas songs there, which were converted from vintage wax recordings into MP3s and stored in archives like the Internet Archive, Library of Congress, and Antique Christmas Lights Museum.
All but one of these tunes were recorded before 1923, so their copyrights have lapsed; you're free to repost, download, or remix any of them.
Here are the direct download links (you might want to use DownloadThemAll for this):
