Liner notes
Here come Ray Conniff and the Singers a-caroling some of the most beloved songs of Christmas — old, new familiar, unusual. In preparing his holiday album, Ray carefully sifted through the rich treasure of Christmas music, selected some of the most warmly glowing songs and adapted them for the unique voices of the Singers. The result is not only a tribute to Ray's creativity but also a wondrous reminder in song of the season's exuberance and grandeur. A "surprise package" is a moving Ray Conniff original, The Real Meaning of Christmas.
