As a child my mother used to play this album each holiday season. Somehow after mom died the album was lost, it is great to have this music back in my life during the holiday season!

Christmas would not be Christmas without hearing Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You)". CHRISTMAS FOR KIDS: FROM ONE TO NINETY TWO includes a 1946 version of the perennial classic as well as a collection of enchanting songs that any child will soon remember, or any adult remembered listening to from Christmases past. All the songs have an imaginative quality, which well could have been the soundtrack to classic Christmas shows but were not, such as "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer" or "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."
Nat King Cole provides exceptional renditions of well known classics for all ages to hear. The tracks that include Cole and the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, "Mr. Santa Claus," ""Take Me Back To Toyland," "Frosty The Snowman," "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot" and the King Cole Trio, "There's a Train Out For Dreamland," will delight the young listeners as well as leave a lasting impression with the quintessential classic, "All I Want For Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth)". "The Little Christmas Tree" may remind one about "A Charlie Brown Christmas." Listeners may want to do a little jig or two with "The Happiest Christmas Tree." There are also the legendary songs of Christmas, "I Saw Three Ships," "A Cradle in Bethlehem," "Away In a Manger," and "Silent Night." And to end the cd, there is "Brahms Lullaby" to take all to dreamland with sugarplums dancing in their head.
The unique aspect about all the tracks ... Read More

There can no longer be any Christmas in my home without Nat King Cole! Although I did not hear this music when I was young this music has a perennial quality that appeals to many generations. This morning my 6 year old daughter sang along to "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" and since she just lost her front teeth it's all the more adoring ;-)
Every song is great!

Yep, the title is "Christmas For Kids", but if you listen to some of these songs, you'll know they aren't all for kids.
This definitely stands above most currently available Christmas CDs. Since the most recent track was recorded in 1960, there sure isn't anything new, but there are several that aren't familiar.
Nat "King" Cole is one of the great "smooth" singers, and if you don't appreciate smooth singers, this isn't for you. But if you have respect for the days and the output of such as Crosby, Como, and others, you'll want him in your Christmas collection.
The set starts with a lively rendition of the traditional "I Saw Three Ships", followed by the soft and mellow "A Cradle In Bethlehem." Then comes the recording which, for me, is second only to Bing's "White Christmas" as the all-time great of the "popular" Christmas songs. I refer, of course, to King Cole's recording of "The Christmas Song".
None of these songs should be slighted, but I especially want to call attention to:
"Take Me Back To Toyland", definitely a song with meaning, the longing of an adult for a simpler and happier time.
"Frosty, The Snowman", one of the happiest child centered Christmas songs, given great treatment here.
"The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot", a sentimental song done by earlier singers given a very tender and meaningful treatment here. This is a situation that of course is just as true and common a one ... Read More

My husband grew up listening to a record of these wonderful songs and have shared them with our family. We have all loved these songs--particularly Littlest Christmas Tree, Happiest Christmas Tree and Little Boy That Santa Clause Forgot . I have looked for a CD version for years, and was thrilled to finally find it. I plan on giving these as gifts to my husband's siblings.
