"The Christmas Waltz" is a song by Sammy Cahn and music by Jule Styne. It represents the accepted form of modern secular Christmas music which describe the wonderful joy of the season without necessarily being religious.
A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra is a Christmas album by American singer Frank Sinatra, originally released by Capitol Records in 1957.
This was Sinatra's first full-length Christmas album. It features the Ralph Brewster Singers along with an orchestra conducted by Gordon Jenkins for the exception of "The Christmas Waltz" & "White Christmas" and conducted by Nelson Riddle which were included as bonus issues on the CD from 1954.
Capitol reissued the album in 1963 with different cover art and a new title, The Sinatra Christmas Album, both of which also featured on the album's initial 1987 compact disc pressing. The original title and cover were eventually restored for subsequent CD pressings in 1990 and 1999. In 2001, the album art was altered from its 1957 version. The CD bonus tracks were originally issued on a 1954 Capitol 45 rpm single, arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle.
In 2007 the album was reissued yet again, with a "50th Anniversary" banner placed atop the 2001 cover art and an additional bonus track (a vintage radio PSA that Sinatra did for the American Lung Association's "Christmas Seals" campaign) added.
In 2010, the album was reissued on vinyl for the first time since the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab reissue, #1-135, circa 1986 (separate from the 1983 16-LP box), exclusively to independent record stores. The album was recorded May 1-July 10, 1957 at Capitol Studio A, Hollywood, Los Angeles for the exception of the CD Bonus tracks.
Frosted windowpanes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
"Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true"
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing, too
Frosted windowpanes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me
It's that time of year
(Of year)
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear
(Every song you hear)
Seems to say
(He seems to say)
"Merry Christmas
May your new year dreams come true"
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
Everyone
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
