Charley Pride Album: “Happy Christmas Day”

The entire selection is great. I have been looking for this for quite some time. I think it is one of if not the greatest Christmas selection my family has heard. We have the album but were now seeking it in CD. It has been a family selection for years (album form). Since my children were small, it has been the selection played during the decoration of our tree at Christmas.

I was so excited that I finally found this CD. I have had it in album form for years. It has always been my favorite Christmas album. The songs are lively and up beat. Charley has a beautiful voice and the songs are wonderful. A definite A+.. Buy it, you will not be dissappointed.

Like every other reviewer I will have to agree in that this is a family classic. This album has been the centerpiece of our Christmas music for as long as I can remember. We listened to it in record form until I had the know-how to transfer it from record to CD (with all the crackles and pops) to make it more convenient.

When I was 9 or 10 years old I learned the lyrics to "Little Drummer Boy". I stood in front of a mirror, hair brush microphone in hand, and belted it out over and over until I had it memorized. Then there's the yearly confusion over the lyrics of "Santa and the Kids", and the annual recounting of the tale of my oldest sister's birth on Christmas Eve. This album was there for that special day as well. My dad heard "They Stood In Silent Prayer" on the radio as he sat in the parking lot at the hospital.

I enjoy this album now more than ever knowing how it has a special place in the hearts of numerous families. As I listen to it this Christmas I think about all of the other families enjoying it in much the same way, it's a special feeling.

Charley Pride and a family gathering, these are the things it takes to make a happy Christmas Day.

I used to listen to this when I was a kid and loved it! My Parents were big into Country music. When I saw this online I had to have it! It is a great oldie!! It brought back a lot of good Christmas memories!!

I love Christmas music and I love Charley Pride so the combination is wonderful. I really like the traditional Christmas songs, and the new ones that are on this cd. It is one of my favorites!!
