This was one of the best-selling Christmas records of the 1960s, and with good cause! Somehow, without the fatherly image of Bing Crosby, or the svelte croon of Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett, or even the reverent innocence of Perry Como, Andy Williams managed to make a holiday institution! This collection of Christmas songs is full of standards normally identified with other artists, but armed with an average tenor and lots of exuberance, Andy Williams made them his own. His "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" is the most exhilarating version of the song there is, and even his "White Christmas" and "O Holy Night" are more than just passable. This is not only Williams's best Christmas collection, this is one that should be in every holiday music collection. --Steve Gdula

Customer Reviews:
Christmas
Grew up watching Andy Williams' Christmas specials. Listening to this CD brought back great memories. Thanks! CD was shipped in a timely manner and enjoyed listening during the Holidays.

Great addition to our Christmas music collection
Music is a big part of our Christmas. We don't bake cookies, decorate the house, wrap gifts, or trim the tree without Christmas music playing. I've no idea why I waited so long to add Andy Williams' classic Christmas albums to our collection, but better late than never!!! This, along with his "green" Christmas CD, give you just about all of Andy's traditional holiday favorites. The lush orchestral arrangements, combined with Andy's matchless voice,

I do agree with a couple reviewers who mentioned less-than-pristine sound quality, but for a holiday album, who cares? Brings back many memories of Andy's Christmas shows, and the days when the old "easy listening" FM radio stations played music like this all through December (not just on Christmas Eve like today).

Christmas Music
This was a replacement for a missing Christmas Album. I have always enjoyed this upbeat arrangement of Christmas music. I highly recommend this to all.

Christmas with Andy Williams
"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!" when you hear that song on the Staple's commercial when kids are ready to go back to school.... ok fine... Christmas song used on a commercial and a great song at that. This album has great songs on it sung by a fantastic artist. "Happy Holiday" is another firmiliar song made famous by Andy Williams. These two songs are worth the price of the CD and if you like those songs and or just Andy Williams in general this Christmas album is a must.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS ALBUM EVER!
The Andy Williams Christmas Album is by far the BEST Christmas album ever recorded. While many Christmas albums have faded over time, this Christmas Album has withstood the test of time. You turn on the radio at Christmastime and you hear many of the songs on this album! While other artists have only a couple of Christmas songs, Andy has many and this album contains some of the best! The Andy Williams Christmas Album with many of the greatest Christmas songs like "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year". These songs are classics and who better to sing them then Mr. Christmas himself. This is a fantastic album and I am only 18 years old, and I grew up listening to it as did my parents and my grandparents and my kids will too! It is THE CLASSIC Christmas Album! The Andy Williams Christmas Album is the BEST Christmas Album!
