For christmas, I am going to make this poll. I am going to pick What Child Is This, because I feel like Guaraldi's version because of how emotional it sounds. That version really gets me thinking. Pick two if you like.

Personally I'm not much of a fan of Christmas albums.

I prefer Sopwith Camels non Christmas Snoopy related work.

Christmas Time Is Here (with vocals).  Is as much a Christmas song as any of the other Christmas song  standards.

I do like that Camel (not that I endorse smoking kids Wink ) but I actually got confused a little.

The songs are by a group called The Royal Guardsmen, who had a song called "It's Sopwith Camel Time" amongst their Snoopy related material.

Confusion is pretty much a permenant state for me.

Linus and Lucy is the quintessential Charlie Brown track.

I can't be 100% sure, but I'm very convinced that Guaraldi quotes or "borrows" from the 1941 jazz standard "I Hear a Rhapsody" somewhere on this album, most likely his version of "O Tannenbaum".

I first heard "I Hear a Rhapsody" through the Chick Corea album Trio Music Live in Europe (1986) and found myself instantly reminded of Guaraldi's soundtrack.

Linus and Lucy.

Pigpen should have gone solo and released some avant crazy stuff.
