Happy Christmas Day

11/29/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"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."

Happy Christmas Day

"My heart jumped for joy when I realized that this was the album that my family listed to growing up. The songs are so special to me. We had the eight track growing up and I am ordering one for my parents. No one in my family has been able to find this music. Charlie Pride has a wonderful voice and the songs are uplifting and bring out the true meaning of Christmas. I feel like I just got the Best Christmas present ever."

"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."

Special meaning

"I can't really add anything new, but I can emphasize and reiterate what others have said. This album has very special meaning for me and my family. My parents own the record, and I can remember listening to it as I was growing up. It just wasn't Christmas without hearing Charley Pride! I also have a special feeling about the song "They Stood in Silent Prayer," a song I knew and could sing as well as I could Rudolf, Jingle Bells, or any other traditional holiday song. Even after I had married and moved away, my BROTHER (who still lived nearby) would help my parents decorate and just had to put on that record. I think it says a lot that so many of us speak of this album as a family tradition. I hope many other families enjoy it too, either as nostalgia or as a "new" discovery!"

Charming album drenched in nostalgia

"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."
