Yes this has to be THE christmas album. Speaking as one who has bought every Crimbo disc ever made, Sinatra's essential recording has never dated on any of the tracks listed here. furthermore, this is the original listings album inclusive of one beautiful alternate take of Christmas waltz. If you ever ever get ONE christmas album to keep or give as a present this is the one. It is neatly divided into 2 sections, the first one is consisting of classic american tunes such as Jingle bells (wonderfully jazzy little number) and The christmas waltz (with frank wishing you all a Merry Christmas at the end) and also, a number written by him Mistletoe and Holly which manages to be charming and as lovely as any of his classics such as Young at heart.... The second has a more "classical" feel with Little town o bethleem and others... Please do not hesitate in getting this, you won't be let down. And when you listen to ityou will know Xmas has finally arrived in your home....Highly, highly recommended
