Day 20 of our Christmas Countdown finds another rare holiday song, 1939's "When Christmas is Gone" by Connee Boswell!
Her Decca record of this song which she co-wrote might be the only recording of it, so let's give it a listen:
That's really nice! She was a wonderful singer!
I also dig the spare instrumental accompaniment!
Note that Connee was still "Connie" at this point in her career. The story goes that she was so popular with G.I. audiences during WWII that she adopted the new spelling of her name so she could sign autographs more efficiently without needing to dot the I!
