I am 17 years old, and have been listening to this Christmas album for as long as i can remember. It is still a favorite of my mother, my 14 year old brother, and I, and will always remain so.

I have had this CD for 3 years and it is my favorite. I did not have Raffi when my children (18 & 15) were young, but they love this album too. Gets me in the Christmas mood!

My children (and I!)love this Christmas CD. Raffi has some unique songs that are fun to sing and my kids like to listen to them over and over. Raffi also has all the favorites that are a must for any children's christmas album.

This music is great, the kids love it (and want to listen to in the summer and the winter) and I like it too. Let's face it, I am willing to pay any amount of money to have good kids music in the car. If it keeps the kids happy (and singing), then I'm happy. Raffi seems to know kids. They want fun, intellegent, well written songs. We bought this CD 3 or 4 years ago, it's still a favorite, now I'm buying it for my sister's son, who's recently dicovered the beauty of Raffi. I wish there was more of this kind of music to choose from.

This is an album not just for the child in your life but also for the child in each of us. My wife and I have raised three children, and music--at home and especially while driving in the car--was always playing. The trick was to find children's music that wouldn't drive me nuts. Smurfs, Strawberry Shortcake, Barney were too cloyingly cute, but Raffi was different. Songs like "Willoughby Wallaby Woo" and Joshua Giraffe" were fun to sing along with, and this collection of Christmas songs is no different. It's a joy from start to finish. With Raffi's warm vocal delivery and the folky instrumentation, frequently augmented by Ken Whitely, these songs have a simple charm that reflects the holiday spirit. Even though my kids have outgrown Raffi, they still enjoy this seasonal recording. [I'll have to wait til I have grandkids to revisit all of his other recordings I have in my collection--I can't wait!] ESSENTIAL

Raffi's Christmas Album has been a favorite of our family for many, many years. It has become a tradition to have it playing on the way to and from Christmas tree shopping. Last year the tape dissapeared and shopping for our tree just wasn't the same! This is a great tape for getting you and your family in the Christmas spirit. "Must Be Santa" is our favorite song. I hope you enjoy it like we have.

When I was a young lad, living in Norwich, I was addicted to the melodious sound of Raffi. Then the teenage years came and I thought it was unhip to listen to Raffi. Now that I have left my teen years behind I am able to properly get back into Raffi's music, guilt-free. This is my favorite Raffi album, and I don't just listen to it during Christmas. In fact, I'm Jewish and still enjoy it. So, do yourself a favor and buy this CD! You can thank me later.

This holiday CD by Raffi met all the expectations of a Raffi collection. I bought it "sight and sound" unseen. Old and new favorites are included and there's plenty for singing or dancing along. I'm not sure I'll get it back from my son's Day Care. We love it.

This album is great for everyone in the family. This might be the best Christmas ablum we own.

Raffi has a calming, melodic voice and is one of the few children's entertainers who also appeals to adults. All of his albums are well balanced so that there are upbeat moments and times when the kiddies need to calm down.
