Merry Christmas

This album has been played at my family Xmas gatherings every year since the 80s now a family tradition

Today the schools won’t let children learn Christmas songs... at least not those that mention the birth of Jesus. Quanza songs, a harvest holiday developed by hallmark cards in 1964 for Africa harvest, Hanukkah songs, which was not even a major Jewish holiday, Santa songs (forget he was st. Nicholas) all for a holiday of presents. The Christmas tree is a Celtic symbol of evergreen and new growth and future spring. But my children were forbidden to learn the songs that 80% of this country’s faith is based upon. I did realize it because l loved them so much that I just assumes they would learn them. So this album is of supreme importance, because it brings use back to the nonprofit reasons for the winter holidays. Holidays that have been in practice long before the birth of Christ. And allow us to enjoy all the must we used to carol from house to house. Merry Christmas

Growing up this album was my favorite and continues to be in my house now. I had so many memories playing this record as a kid. I have the digital copy which we play a lot but on Christmas I play the original record. Best Christmas album you could ever own.

The velvet voice is delicious down to the last drop. ❤️

I knew Jonny Matthis was from back in the day because of my moms record. I remember thinking he had such a pure and beautiful voice and made Christmas sound like...well Christmas on this album. I’m not convinced he gets the credit he deserves. When I think of the classics like Sinatra and Martin, I rank Matthis right up there.

I like all of the songs

No one does it better

Great Album by an icon...

My mom had this record when I was growing up and it is a staple in my family during the holidays. Its the best Christmas album. Its tradition that we open our gifts with this on in the background. His voice is perfection. Now that I have kids of my own I am passing down this tradition.

This is a great Christmas album but the centerpiece of it is "Oh Holy Night"! Many have done this beautiful song over the years, but nobody, and I mean nobody, "hit it out of the park" like Johnny Mathis and Percy Faith!!! Very emotional, beautiful and spiritual!!! If you know of somebody who hasn't heard this version before, play it for them and see if they are not moved to tears like I am every time I hear it!
