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 Ruby

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - take me back to childhood
I am not a fan of christmas music.....so when I had to play it 24/7 at my store. I wanted to have the relaxing sound of this cd. The holidays are always very stressfull for me and any little extra stress reliever is needed.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Charlie Brown Christmas
Great CD purchased for Christmas gifts which the recipients loved it! If you liked the Charlie Brown movies you'll love this sound track.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best all-around Christmas CD ever! A real crowd pleaser!
I have loved the Peanuts gang since I was a little girl and I still do, and the music of Vince Guaraldi encompasses the very essence of Christmas, before corporations and commericalism took over! Shame! Shame! This CD brings people of all ages together and can really transform people into the holiday spirit without the harsh, revamped old Christmas melodies sung today by no namers being thrown in your face when you walk into any retail store. The Peanuts CD lifts the spirits gently while one shops ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brings Back Childhood!
Lovely CD, great Guaraldi music, reminds me of growing up in the 60's when watching A Charlie Brown Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, and Rudolph, were essential points in the Holiday season.
The music is mellow and soothing and totally delightful.
The sound quality of the CD, despite what others might say, is fine!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The only Christmas CD I like!
I'm not a big fan of Christmas music but this CD I LOVE! It's mostly instrumental and is very soothing. It's the only Christmas music I listed to at the holidays.
