Recorded in exactly the style that Charley Pride's fans expect, this Christmas offering includes three Christmas carols that appear very frequently on such albums (Silent night, Little drummer boy, O holy night) and anther oldie (Deck the halls) that ought to appear more frequently than it actually does.
Elsewhere in the album, there are plenty of great songs, these being the jaunty title track, the respectful They stood in silent prayer, the fun of Santa and the kids, the joyous Happy Christmas day, the thoughtful First Christmas morn and the uplifting Christmas and love.
With a nice mix of standards and originals, Charley's contribution to Christmas festivities is very enjoyable. It was among the first Christmas albums albums that I ever bought on vinyl. Although I don't play it as often around Christmas as I once did, I always enjoy hearing it when I do.
