This is by far my most favorite Christmas album. It brings back so many wonderful memories! I have the old record album from my childhood and as you can imagine it really isn't any good any longer, I merely hold onto it for sentimental value. I couldn't be more thrilled to finally have it on CD. I love to play this CD while the family trims the tree.The chipmunks are truly at their all time best in this one. ;o) If you are wondering, "is this the same soundtrack that I loved as a child?", yes it is, and you can not go wrong with buying this CD!As for introducing a beloved classic to your children, you cannot go wrong with this CD either. My children love it just as much as I.
