Today's Christmas album is by Perry Como. What a smooth voice he had! I don't remember ever watching his TV show, but I do remember catching a couple of his Christmas specials - the last one being one he did in San Antonio (where I went to college). Well, this album is a must-have for your Christmas collection. It has some songs for the kiddies, some songs of faith, and a couple I'd never heard before - something for everyone. The back cover notes that the songs on side 1, Perry performs with Mitchell Ayres and his orchestra, and side 2 is with Russ Case and his orchestra. Enjoy!

Awesome, I grew up on Perry Como! Can't wait to listen. Thanks, Esther.
I grew up listening to this album every single Christmas with my family. All through December (and even earlier, if I could talk my mother into it), Perry's voice would carry through the house as we baked cookies and decorated. I have been looking everywhere for this album because I have no way to make a copy of my mother's vinyl one. I came across your page via a search for this album, and I'm so glad I did. Thank you! You have made my Christmas complete.
