Add 1 star for family listening. Mostly choral, very little of Jones's usual "musical depreciation"
25 Sep 2000
Format:Audio CD
Fans who know bandleader Spike Jones from his raucous, bell-ringing, pistol-popping musical satires of the 1940s will be surprised by this much more sedate effort of the 1950s. There is very little of Jones's trademarked, tune-wrecking style in this; out of some three dozen songs, only three include hints of the old City Slickers silliness. That's either good news or bad news, depending on your taste, so keep in mind that much of this album is played straight. If you're in the mood for an extended program of traditional Christmas songs, you'll probably find some of your favorites here.
Most of the album is devoted to the highly listenable Jud Conlon chorus, in serious renditions. The Conlon performances and arrangements are beautiful and memorable; some of these arrangements were used almost verbatim by The Carpenters years later. Two excellent vocal groups make guest appearances. The rest of the album is not as impressive, and is self-consciously cute: vocalist George Rock does his little-kid imitation several times, and there are some uninspired cuts by a children's chorus (billed as The City Slicker Juniors). Definitely a mixed bag, but worthwhile for the Jud Conlon selections.

Our new family favorite!
12 Feb 2000
Format:Audio CD
As a former Dr. Demento listener, I just had to have this CD, though I wasn't quite sure what to expect as far as quality. Boy, what a great surprise. The songs that are done seriously are some of the best renditions I've ever heard. The more humorous ones were instant hits with my kids. A fantastic variety of songs. If you love Christmas and have a sense of humor, you'll love this.

It brings back my childhood christmas memories
19 Nov 1999
Format:Audio CD
My parents had this album as I was growing up. My sister and I have been listening to a recording of it that my father taped for us years ago. I have been looking for this is CD format, since CD's came out. This album is all about Christmas. Adults having fun and acting like children again! It's a true sing-along.
