Dads favourite Christmas album. Now I'm 65 when I hear it I am transported back to the early sixties in our two up two down kitchen house on the Shankill Road Belfast. What great memories Action Man, Jonny Seven gun, scalextric racing track, Jonny West cowboy and horse figure, mecano set, Boys Own Annual, with an apple,orange ,money and wee surprise in my stocking. As the tunes play a warm and safe feeling comes over me that I hope my kids experience when they hear this album. Merry 2021 Christmas folks.v

My grandfather passed away this morning. He used to sing this to me as a lullaby when I was a baby. So I had to listen to it in his honor tonight. I will always miss him.

Dean Martin is a close second IMO, but no modern singer comes close to all time greats like them
