25 years after recieving the cassette for Christmas, this is still my favorite holiday album. The bonus edition CD is even better than the original. I recommend this for children and anyone who appreciates simple, honest, fun to sing along with Christmas music.

Thais is an adorable record. It is gentle and upbeat and sweet. perfect for small ones -- though now that my kids are 21 and 25, they still ask to hear it.

I can tire of Mannheim Steamroller, the best country Christmas collection, and even Handel's The Messiah, but I can play Raffi's Christmas Album over and over and every time it's fresh and clean and singable. This is my favorite Christmas collection by far.

Even though my children are in college, it's not Christmas without hearing Raffi's delightful Christmas album. We have fond memories of many sing-a-longs in the car during holiday road trips. Since we now have cars with a CD player, I am replacing our worn-out cassette with the CD so,once again,we can enjoy Christmas songs by Raffi while driving. Favorite songs(though ALL are great):Must Be Santa,Douglas Mountain and Petit Papa Noel.

This is a wonderful CD! It has a great mix of Christmas classics for children and some excellent Raffi additions, like "On Christmas Morning" and "Petit Papa Noel." Our children listen to this over and over. They think this is the best children's Christmas music CD in the world, and it is. I highly recommend Raffi for you and your children!

The troubadour of Toddlerville celebrates the Christmas season with this newly remastered classic. Raffi, a three-time Grammy Award nominee, revolutionized children's music in the '70s and '80s with kid-friendly songs drawing on reggae, ragtime, gospel, jazz, country, and calypso. With his blend of creativity and whimsy, Raffi ups the ante with some holiday spirit on Raffi's Christmas Album. Here, he brings together interpretations of seasonal holiday classics ("Jingle Bells," "Frosty the Snowman," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer") and lesser-known gems (Roger Miller's "Old Toy Trains" and Tex Logan's "Christmas Time's A-Coming"), as well as several Raffi originals ("Every...
