There has never been an official start date but usually everything gets in motion around mid November.
Now is the time to think about building up a little war chest of goodies though. Pull out those dups and pick up those classics and nuggets when you see them!

@vinylsanta.bsky.social is getting to be time to sign up for this year? I have quite the hoard to pull from this go around…

Spotted one of our regulars on another platform ... We're assuming these weren't signed for #VinylSanta purposes @tillbox.bsky.social? 🎅

107 days till Christmas Eve, which makes it roughly 100 shopping days for Vinyl Santa.

Start now and build up a little floor pile of goodies. It will make life much easier in December.

Weed out your duplicates and grab those charity shop classics when you can!

Attention all followers. Does a summer vinyl Santa sound like the tonic you are searching for?
@xomr.bsky.social is looking to get one going if there are enough interested parties. Looking at July 4th to be the big day.
Follow Matty for more details.

Hey @vinylsanta.bsky.social folks in the USA. I wonder if a lot of you are like me and feeling overwhelmed by the dumpster fire of a country we live in. Anyone interested in a mini summer Vinyl Santa exchange to spread some joy? #VinylSanta #SummerSanta

Sincere apologies to my #VinylSanta for the delay in posting, afraid the chaos of Xmas got the better and me. Thanks for all your effort. Afraid I can’t post images as my phone won’t upload them for some reason. I’m looking forward to hearing the version of the Foggy Dew.

Before we wind down the account for the year we would like to thank all participants who sent such considered and quality packages this year.
By our reckoning everyone got their VS and most all have posted the contents online.

See you all for #Vinylsanta 2025!

Got so carried away with the Christmas celebrations I totally forgot to post my #VinylSanta

Safe to say I am truly delighted.

Two absolute favourites, a new one to me and a special Christmas edition.

Thank you so much ♥️

Excited to play this later, some jazz funk from #VinylSanta, interesting to see she also keys on the banger “Funkin for Jamaica”

LP cover of Lesette Wilson, Now that I’ve got your attention. Shows her in a yellow top holding an umbrella being rained on by musical notes.

That #VinylSanta perennial Tijuana Christmas is about to be #NowPlaying. My sender's correct - how come this was missing from my Xmas LPs? 🤷
