I've always liked the dream-like quality of these recordings.

[Vanool35]

Whenever the Bible mentions a choir of angels, it actually means the Ray Conniff choir.

Yes, they're that good

My dad needs to learn the lyrics to this song. He sings it to my daughter Ava all the time, but he ends up making up lyrics.

[bluemax79]

@TavrosTheTampon Why did you use a possessive pronoun instead of a contraction?

[oliviasmulyan]

christmas is SO MUCH FUN!

[janedough66]

Everything about this song makes me tear up at Christmastime.

[janedough66]

Top 3 fave Christmas standards. But they NEVER play it at Christmastime!!! Why???

[chiccoboy13]

Sig, this Ray Conniff classic completes my Christmas every year - in fact this particular LP. We all grew up and old listening to RC xmas music every year and natural na ma-alala mo yung mga nakaraan, he he he.

[rmcaliolio]

@chiccoboy13 Tama ka! For me, this is the best song of the best Christmas album. I can listen to this album in a loop all day long. Maligayang Pasko / Merry Christmas!!!

[byrdsmaniac]

@rmcaliolio I totally agree. 

[francisdcool]

Thank you!! I don't really like the other remakes of this song. This song always brings back so many memories. I've always heard this when I was a child, my mom always plays this in our old cassette tape player.

[pookerville]

Now this is the real thing!

[RennanizedRen]

@EpoRose Lol. Took me three plays and looking it up to realize it!

[mjcamck71]

THANKS 6891man for posting. I love this original version best. While my childhood home was often less than wonderful, at least we did have a record player and this song emanating from the stereo added warmth and peace to an otherwise cold and violent place. THANK YOU RAY CONNIFF SINGERS - Peace & Merry Christmas to ALL. PS - Did anyone know you can buy real sugarplums from the Vermont Country store?

[garkl33]

now this is MUSIC :) i get so sick of people who think their now famous trying to replicate a song in their OWN flair .. keep it original i say .. THIS ROCKS :) thanks for posting

[LepAngel8159]

WOW! I too grew up on this album and Mitch Miller every Christmas. I was in tears listening to this. Brings back so many happy childhood memories. Thanks so much for posting this. These were 2 of my faves off the album. My daddy passed the vinyl down to me but can't play it:(

[gewdygirl1]

@LepAngel8159

you can BUY THIS on CD NOW!!!  I HAVE IT. I LOVE IT, TOO--i grew up listening to this as well--brings back the best memeories :' )

[EpoRose]

When I was younger, I thought they just happened to always play Little Drummer Boy after this song. Duh.

[LectroidPlatypus144]

@EpoRose I'll wager visions of sugarplums against anybody's gold myrrh and frankinsence that You aren't alone in that.

[Commander65]

Great mix with two of my favorite Christmas songs. Thanks for sharing!

[ThePaczki]

The definitive medley . . .

[JM971]

I remember too these songs because my father had got a cassette with these and more songs. He has lost it after so many years but I can recover the esssential from the cassette now thanks you and your video. Greetings from sunny Mexico.
