Season's Greetings from Perry Como

Season's Greetings from Perry Como, originally released in 1959, was Perry Como's sixth RCA Victor 12" long-play album and the fourth recorded in full "living" stereophonic sound, as well as his first full-length Christmas album.^[2][3]

The album is warm and relaxed, featuring lush renditions of "Winter Wonderland", "The Christmas Song", "O Holy Night" and seven other Christmas tunes (including a re-recording of Como's own 1954 hit, "Home for the Holidays"). Como is accompanied on the tracks by Mitchell Ayres' orchestra and the Ray Charles Singers.
