I found Olivia Newton-John's Christmas cd at Target! I know it's only available there but they actually had it. I saw a man walking around with a copy and I asked him where he got it. He led me right to it. I thanked him for that! It was only 9.99. That made me even happier. It's going for much more on eBay.
