Edison must have brought old time yodeler George Watson, who recorded many early brown wax and black wax two minute cylinder records, back for one last "Blue Amberol" celluloid record in the 19teens for this one. A Christmas comedy record with Yodeling ! how unique. Unfortunately, maybe it's just me, but the quality of the recording and the reproducer make it extremely difficult to understand the words. It would have helped if the individual who posted this video on youtube, had initialized the annotations youtube option and posted the words to the song on the screen as Watson is singing.

Few views, but a nice treat for holiday music fans, wax cylinder 
collectors, and of course, 78-l'ers.
