Without a doubt this is the favorite Christmas CD for my family (two adults; 6 kids). We always play this one first, last and the most. We love it so much that I bought 7 copies this year to give as gifts to friends and family. Burl Ives has such a unique voice. His delivery is so folksy and cheerful. Most people know Burl as the snowman in the Rudolph The Red-nosed Reindeer program. If you like folk music, you owe it to yourself to check out his other, non-Christmas CDs. The classic Christmas songs on this CD are sung wonderfully, and the songs that will be new to you will become new favorites. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending this CD to you. It may well become your family favorite too.
We had this Christmas album when I was a little boy. It was my favorite, especially The Little Drummer Boy song. I used to put the album on the record player, turn out the lights and lie under the lit Christmas tree and reflect on the season and what it meant to me. I'm happy to have found the CD! And I highly recommend this CD for you and your family at Christmas time. You will enjoy it for many, many years to come.
This is a great, great Christmas album, even for - or maybe especially for - those too young to know about the incredibly versitile talent that was Burl Ives; if you've never seen it, his role as "Big Daddy" in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is not to be missed. The simple and traditional arrangements on every song on this disc is classic. If you play guitar and like to sing to your children or simply sing to your children these tunes and the way they're played are especially good. A "can't miss" album and only recently back in production....
Cd arrived in excellent condition and on time as promised!

I purchased this LP about 1969 when my children were small. We enjoyed hearing it every Christmas for the next 17 or so years. The record played is long gone, but when I saw this CD listed I just had to buy it for my grandson. My daughter loved hearing it again and her son loves it now. This is a great find. Thanks !!
