"Maybe This Christmas" should be pretty widely available.  It's on the
Nettwork label, and I've seen it around a lot of places, often
prominently displayed.  "It's a Cool, Cool Christmas" is not so easy,
unfortunately.  I don't recall where I got it (maybe Virgin Megastore
here in NYC), but it's a Brit import, so on Amazon, for instance, it's
fetching a good $45.  It's definitely very cool, but not $45 cool.
