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 Ruby2) Album Description

Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5
1) festive and sentimental music score [Rating: 5 out of 5]
this served as a great background music during the holidays. always puts everyone in a festive mood.2) Excellent Disc [Rating: 5 out of 5]
All I can say is that this is an excellent CD. Just sit back, close your eyes, and enjoy the music. Makes a great addition to any Christmas music collection. Will bring back many memories of the Charlie Brown Christmas movie. Love it!3) Best Christmas CD EVER Produced [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is the best ever Christmas CD - cool classical jazz riffs to enjoy as an adult, and it'll have you drifting back to your youth in front of the fireplace in you pajamas, watching the "Charlie Brown Christmas" cartoon. This is the ONLY Christmas CD I can just play over and over and never tire of it. If had to get rid of my Christmas CDs but keep only one, this one would be it.4) Memories [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I enjoyed this CD so much. It brought back wonderful childhood memories that I was able to share with my daughter. I remember being small girl watching Charlie Brown and knowing that Christmas was just around the corner. This is great for all of us 40 plus folks.5) A Christmas Classic (just add eggnog, champagne, and a warm fireplace). [Rating: 5 out of 5]
There are two only two truly perfect Christmas albums: A Charlie Brown Christmas, and the Johnny Mathis Merry Christmas album (1958). A Charlie Brown Christmas was released in 1965 as the soundtrack album to the CBS Christmas television special. It is no surprise that it is among the most popular holiday music albums of all time. All of the songs on this CD are legitimately great jazz songs regardless of the time of year, but easily recreate the sense of childhood excitement and mystery of the holidays. To create a perfectly mellow holiday ambiance, just add eggnog, champagne, and a warm fireplace to the following setlist:1. O Tannenbaum2. What Child Is This3. My Little Drum4. Linus And Lucy5. Christmas Time Is Here6. Christmas Time Is Here7. Skating8. Hark, The Herald Angels Sing9. Christmas Is Coming10. FĂĽr Elise11. The Christmas Song12. GreensleevesG. Merritt
