This nicely remastered set should summon up memories of Christmas past for many, and is still capable of conjuring a certain kind of comforting holiday magic for younger generations. Sinatra swings through traditional fireside sing-alongs ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" and "The Twelve Days of Christmas"), often accompanied by his kids, Tina, Nancy, and Frank, Jr., in the days before the latter two became stars in their own right. Sinatra is also joined by his one-time rival in the crooner stakes, Bing Crosby, most notably on the classic "White Christmas," which still has the power to call up pleasing sentiments of the season. The combination of Sinatra's warm, yet world-weary, voice and the material's lushly appointed arrangements is timeless and irresistible.

Please note I use eBay's "pre-filled listing" information because I believe using it is necessary for success on eBay at this time.   However, at times eBay's "pre-filled information" is wrong.   I will not guarantee the accuracy of what eBay writes.   I take photos of the front booklet, CD and back page.  If you have any questions please email me.

All of my CD's are 100% original. I do not sell CD-R or fake CD's.   Many of the CD’s are club editions, please look at the pictures.  I also do not sell Chinese or Russian knockoffs.  The pictures are of the actual CD and the CD is available.    

Many of the CD's were purchased over the years from used CD stores which may have polished or buffed the CD's to look like new.  For most of them I am unable to tell which ones have been polished as they look like new to me.  

Thank you for looking at my listings!  I have thousands of CD's to list yet, so do check back often, make me one of your favorite sellers.  Please feel free to ask any questions.   I strive for this to be a positive sale for both of us.

All CD’s come in a plastic jewel case that was not broken or cracked when sent to you.  I take care and put it between cardboard and in a bubble envelope.  However, depending on the postal worker, jewel cases can get broken.   They are cheap to replace, about 40 cents each.  If your CD jewel case arrives broken please do not hold it against me.   Thank you.

I strive to achieve outstanding service.   I am not a store or a drop shipper, just a music lover.  Each CD was photographed and examined by me personally.

Item as Described:  I grade CD’s as if I was purchasing them for myself.  All CD’s are tested and cleaned before they are sent.   All jewel cases are in very good condition and not broken.   The CD is wrapped in cardboard and put in a bubble envelope.

Shipping and Handling:  For US the $2.00 courier fee is included in the shipping cost.
