You can tell that Goulet&#8217;s got a musical theatre background from this album, as he&#8217;s not so much singing these songs in a recording studio as he&#8217;s booming these songs out so you can hear them in the cheap seats.<\/p>\n<p>The track list includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This Christmas I Spend With You<\/li>\n<li>Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas<\/li>\n<li>December Time<\/li>\n<li>Let It Snow!

Let It Snow!<\/li>\n<li>The Christmas Song (Chesnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)<\/li>\n<li>Silver Bells<\/li>\n<li>Winter Wonderland<\/li>\n<li>White Christmas<\/li>\n<li>O Holy Night (Cantique De Noel)<\/li>\n<li>Panis Angelicus<\/li>\n<li>Ave Maria<\/li>\n<li>O Come, All Ye Faithful<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Given the booming presentation of each, this record does not get a lot of play.  I think I hit it once last year (the first year we owned it), and I played side one this year.  And that might be enough.  It&#8217;s not mood music, and it&#8217;s not background music.  It&#8217;s like a recording of a concert, and I&#8217;m not into live albums.  <\/p>\n<p>But if you&#8217;re into musical theatre or to an over the top style, perhaps it would be to your liking.\t<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Album mentioned in this review:<\/b><br \/>\n\t<iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;source=ac&#038;ref=tf_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=stlbrianj-20&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=US&#038;placement=B00HAPT29S&#038;asins=B00HAPT29S&#038;linkId=JCZ3NVRZRNPG7ZPD&#038;show_border=false&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This album comes from early in Goulet&#8217;s career; in 1960, he got his big break in the musical Camelot, and three years later this album was out.
