We bought Raffi's tape for our daughters years ago, but I think my husband and I enjoyed Raffi and his Christmas selections as much as the girls... This year, I bought the CD for my oldest daughters who's in college, just to bring back memories of our music-filled Christmases at home. Beautiful voice. And his rendition of Petit Papa Noel brings tears to my eyes. So glad it's available in CD.

I bought this cd in a now-defunct Zany Brainy store when it first came out, principally because the song "Old Toy Trains" is included. My father wrote this song years ago and then sold it to Roger Miller, who is credited as the author of the song. I don't see it on too many cds, so when I saw it I thought I'd give the cd a try, even though I'm not particularly a Raffi fan.

After listening to it, however, I must say that Raffi does a wonderful job, not only on "Old Toy Trains" but on the entire cd. My family and I love the cd from start to finish. I love that many of the songs are unusual and not what you hear played on the radio over and over again. And I love that the songs are not overblown and bombastic, but simplistic and pleasant.

Overall, a great Christmas cd. Not a clunker in the bunch.

This is by far the BEST Christmas album for people of ALL ages. I have listened to this album since before I was even born. Every Christmas my house would be flooded with the wonderful songs this album has. And now 20 years later, as a pre-school teacher, my students romp around my classroom dancing and singing along to these classic songs. Parents and older siblings will also enjoy this album. The songs are childish, but not annoying like most other childrens songs. I can't say enough wonderful things about Raffi, and this album. BUY IT AND LOVE IT!

This is my children's favorite Christmas music CD, and my wife and I look forward to this CD every year. This is great Christmas music for everyone.

There are traditional children's Christmas songs, like "Must Be Santa," and other lesser known gems that are wonderful, like "Petit Papa Noel" and "On Christmas Morning." There is not one bad song, and the quality is excellent. I wish everyone a merry Christmas with this good music.

I highly recommended this CD and Raffi's other CD's, videos, and DVD.

This is a great Christmas CD!!! Most of the songs are all-time favorite Christmas songs that our children listen to over and over, like "Jingle Bells," "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," and "Silent Night." But the Raffi originals and signature songs, like "Petit Papa Noel," "On Christmas Morning," and "Douglas Mountain," are even better. Our kids play it over and over, and we don't mind listening to it over and over.

Raffi's Christmas Album was recommended to me by a friend of mine. She said she played this album every Christmas for her kids... they are now both in college and this is the one CD they request to have played during the holidays. That was enough for me... I bought the album last year for my [...] son and he loves all the songs. He was asking to have the CD played long after Chrstmas was over! This is a must have Christmas album... especially for anyone with children!

I grew up listening to Raffi, and this album brings back pleasant memories and puts me in the Christmas mood. I highly recommend this CD for the holidays. Everything by Raffi is great to grow up with.

My daughter loves this CD, and listening to it was the only way she would tolerate riding in the car... until we got another Raffi CD!

I have been listening to this album since I was a little girl. I would beg my mom to send me copies of the cassett tape, because when I joined the navy my friends would steal it every Christmas. Its a must have for anyone with kids. I'm 23 now and still love this album.

This is our favorite Christmas CD for five years running. Both of my girls love it and know all the songs by heart. My favorite song is "must be Santa" which has the beautiful voice of children singing the chorus. My oldest daughter loves Petit papa Noel. If you love Raffi you will love this CD, if you find some of Raffi's music overboard or obnoxious (bananphone maybe) you will still like this CD, it is toned down of his typical silly kiddie CDs and filled with more beautiful classic Christmas songs.
