Besides, my kids are sprawled on the floor of the living room, and they’re sleeping in a pile of blankets, abandoned cups of hot chocolate in the Santa Claus mugs hinting at the rip-roaring time we had here last night. (Rule One: Do NOT wake sleeping kids unless there’s a compelling reason to do so. And no, I did not drug the kids - and my cup was the only one containing peppermint schnapps. Honest.)

It was made in 1959, originally an RCA Living Stereo recording. It features the same type of instrument (Schulmerich Carillon Americana) with orchestra and chorus. It is available in a mono CD version from Schulmerich Bells - www.schulmerichbells.com and is WELL WORTH A LISTEN!

I've been on the hunt for the version that has the lyrics was on a 45 record and the male vocalist sounded alot like Bing Crosby. It is a family tradition to start our Christmas with this song...but the album degraded and was thrown out (Ugh!) and we're left with a rapidly degrading tape casette version. It's still lovely and brings back nostalgia though. If you need a copy of the John Klein song, I can help you out. Good luck!
