Jingle Bells

When I grew up in the late 1950s and early 1960s, we had this record as part of my family's collection and it became, for me, the quintessential Christmas album. Like so many other things, it was lost, God only knows where, with the passage of time, so it was wonderful to find a copy again. The Christmas songs (they're all here) are just a fresh, the arrangement just a vibrant and the children's voices just as sweet as when I first heard them so many years ago. I'm sure it's partly because of my past associations with it but I still think it's the best Christmas album ever.
