Over 30 years ago I fell in love with this album and played it until the outer edge was warped and I could only play the center songs. But I would play them Christmas after Christmas, anyway. The expected traditional is here and the unexpected, less well known pieces are here, combined to make a magical album.I am introducing it to my daughter and her Nanny [who is also from the south]. And it is being loved all over again.Another tradition worthy of preserving.
