The Ray Conniff Christmas Show: Here We Come A-Caroling was a nice look back at this chorus from my parents' time...

If you were a kid of the '60s and '70s, you probably had parents who listened to what was referred at the time as Easy Listening music of which The Ray Conniff Singers were of that category. My parents had quite a bit of their albums when I was a kid during that latter decade including one of their Christmas ones called "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". On a holiday special they did for TV that I found on YouTube, many of their selections they lip-synced to their own voices on were from that particular album. It was quite entertaining to once again hear their familiar voices and then also see what they looked like when performing them though I also recognized some of their faces from that album cover. Some of their songs from their other Christmas albums-like "O Tannenbaum" and "Here Comes Santa Claus"-had different performers representing them like puppets for the former and a film of Santa at the North Pole with his reindeer in the latter. Overall, this was quite entertaining to watch. Oh, and it was nice to see Ray Conniff himself talking a bit before some of the songs.
