I've loved this album since I was a child (early 70's)

"I have the original album my parents got in 1966? and it is my favorite at Christmas. One song got damaged a few years back, and I would like to find it on CD or cassette (or fat chance finding it--another album). As far as the one review's comment about "Jungle Bells", that's one of my favorites, because it is completely different than any other Christmas song made at the time. It's not SUPPOSED to be a remake of "Jingle Bells" -- it's different. Now I'm 40 and would like MY kids (both preschoolers) to grow up with it also. It's funny and entertaining, but also serious and soulful. A GREAT piece of work for all ages and times."
Great Christmas Album

"Being addicted to the Four Seasons, I had to get this album. It is a mix between traditional Christmas classics, and fun Christmas songs. Although during two or three of the traditional songs, Frankie Valli hits a couple of clinkers when he breaks into his falsetto, but not much.The medleys are well balanced, and beautifully transitioned between one song and another. But my favorite songs on this albums were the one fun Christmas songs, such as "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" (which is my favorite version of this particular song), "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" (with Frankie singing in his falsetto all throughout the song), and "Christmas Tears" which is virtually new to me. Another song that was new to me was "Jungle Bells" (the track listing on-line makes a mistake and credits it as "Jingle Bells"). "Jungle Bells" is easilly defined as a novelty song, where Santa Claus visits the jungle and is giving presents to all the animals. It's really cute and funny.This album is also the hardest Four Seasons album to find, and could possibly become one of my all time favorite Christmas CD's, and it could become one of your family's too."
An all-time favorite!

"This was the first Christmas album I ever received and, arguably, my favorite. Traditional carols beautifully done in that unique Four Seasons' style and a few un-traditional ones for a bit of spice. For anyone who grew up in the 60s and 70s a definite MUST but great for all."
Four Seasons Christmas album is great!

"I love it, love it, LOVE IT! Whoever said the album is a disaster doesn't know what they're talking about! All the songs are wonderful! They sing so beautifully! I got the cassette from the library, and I especially love the medleys on the one side and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" on the other. I'm going to order a copy of it for my very own for the holidays this year!"
