This message, the oldest known Christmas-related sound recording in the world, was made by Colonel George Gouraud, Thomas Edison's sales agent in England, on December 21, 1888. Gouraud spent the 2nd half of that year at Little Menlo, his home in London, making recordings of voice messages and music, and sent the resulting 6 months of cylinders in a box to Thomas Edison in West Orange, New Jersey. On the final cylinder in the collection, Gouraud expressed hope that the box would arrive safely, and then gave the following yuletide greeting to Edison and his entourage.
