5.0 out of 5 stars It is one of (if not THE) best Christmas albums EVER!, January 24, 1999

By A Customer

I remember listening to this album when I was a child. I have always loved it!! I found a copy of the album, and I went to listen to it in December, and it was warped. I am buying the CD so I will have it for this Christmas!! And to the music lover in Canada: I have a 1961 copy of this album, and Santa Clause Is Coming To Town and O Little Town of Bethlehem aren't on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Christmas Album, November 22, 2008

We had this album in our home when I was growing up. One day I found the CD and bought it. If you love Christmas as much as I do, this CD must be a staple of your Christmas music collection if you were born before the 1970s.

I cannot believe this CD is no longer available. Truly sad. :(

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the Best, November 23, 2005

This album means Christmas.

I remember playing the LP version of these 1940's selections every year. From the beautiful opening rendition of "T'was..." to the rousing closer, this is a collection to remember.

Much has been made of the quality of Como's voice. He was never better than in these sessions. But what truly separates this from all other Christmas albums are the arrangements. From the soft chorals of "Silent Night" to the inspired counterpoint of "The 12 Day...," the musicians blend with Como's warmth and create a texture rare in pop.

As an added bonus, even the 'original' tunes are inspired. "That Christmas Feeling" is certainly not out of place among the more traditional favorites.

As noted, two of the original sides aren't here--but a quick search of itunes can get you those, too, for $1.98.

All of this adds to up delightful holiday listening year after year.
