Its October, which, to some, means it’s the appropriate time in the year to start shoving Christmas down your throat. And what better way to kick it off than with a holly jolly Christmas CD from an iconic group?

Actually, you grinch, this is quite exciting for fans of the soulful Staple Singers. The Chicago quartet will be re-releasing its 1962 holiday-inspired album The 25th Day of December. The record has been digitally mastered and packaged in a DigiPack with new artwork. No need to wait for their yuletide song stylings either. The album has already been released and is ready to be purchased at a local music store near you.
