This was Willie Nelson's first Christmas album, which was released in 1979. It reunited Willie with the musicians who worked on his classic Stardust album, including producer/organist Booker T. Jones. Most of the songs are traditional Christmas songs, with a couple of exceptions. "Pretty Paper" is a song written by Willie, although it was not written for this album. Roy Orbison had a hit with it in 1963, and Willie recorded his own version of it in 1964. The only original tune on the album is "Christmas Blues", which is an instrumental written by Willie and Booker T. This is a very good album, with Willie doing these songs in his own inimitable style.

I'm not a crazy fan of Christmas music in general, but Willy definitely adds his own unique touch to all of these songs. They aren't sappy like so many others you here all the time around Christmas time. I especially love "Frosty." His and the Beach Boys' are tied for my favorite versions.

This CD replaced another old cassette tape I'd worn out. Besides the title track, Willie does a fine version of many Christmas standards including "Jingle Bells" which I enjoy as much as any version I've ever heard. Good price and service, too.

quick ship, great item, I highly recommend this to all fans of Willie's & Christmas. makes a great idea foe next years gifts. thanks

I first got this tape in high school (many moons ago) and replaced it with the CD recently. Very nice to listen to.

I'm a Willy Nelson fan but was a little hesitant about buying a Christmas album by him. Turns out it was wonderful. This was given as a Christmas gift but we listened to it several times during the day. She took it home with her so now I need to buy one for myself. This album will be one of my top favorite Christmas albums.

I love Willie and love his Christmas album - when we get sick of the mall sound tracks this is one to come back to. Even if its a standard Christmas song unique vocals and pacing make it personal and intimate. It brings me back to childhood when the songs were unigue and personal.

I loved this album on vinyl. I am just updating my CD collection so I can use it anywhere!

Beautiful CD. Nice clear,simple,music and lyrics appropriate to Christmas.
I love this CD.

This CD is my favorite Christmas CD. Along with the title song, there are nice traditional songs. Worth every penny and a small price.
