The first time you listen to this disc you will undoubtedly be transported directly back to your childhood. Charles Schulz's Peanuts characters will go toe-tapping and funky-dancing through your mind's eye. Play it a few more times, though (ignoring the dialogue snippets, if you can), and you will begin to truly revel in Guaraldi's wonderful, humorous, deep piano playing. You'll hear why he's such an influence on new age ivory tickler George Winston, but you'll also realize that Winston's holiday music never quite sparkles with the underlying passion, and humor, that twinkles in these grooves. Buy it for the nostalgia--keep it because it will remain one of the most enchanting albums in your holiday collection. --Michael Ruby

Done as the Comic Stip characters have for a long time. In the style well loved by all Charlie Brown fans of all ages. Christmas isn't Christmas without this CD!

A classic5
I do love to listen to this. It's a classic! Everyone should have a copy of this. It brings back childhood when you listen, but you can now enjoy the music for itself also.

The Best!5
This is one of my favorite Christmas CD's of all times. It's excellent music for parties, for all ages!
