It should come as no surprise that Frank Sinatra would have a
special way with Christmas songs just as he did with every other
type of song. This welcome reissue is a slightly expanded version
of Sinatra's original 1948 Christmas album and includes some 1945
V-Disc holiday performances especially recorded for the troops
still stationed in Europe right after the war. The original 78s
hold up incredibly well for Christmas music a half-century old.
Sinatra's approach to such chestnuts as "White Christmas"--only 2
years old in 1944--and "Silent Night" is straightforward,
unsentimental and utterly convincing. It also owes nothing to Bing
Crosby, who had a franchise on this kind of family fare. Sinatra's
fresh, non-pietistic take on this material is geared more toward
the unattached (young) man in the street rather than family men.
The slightly sexy "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and
"Christmas Dreaming (A Little Early This Year)" were for the very
same G.I.s Sinatra had once entertained through his V-Discs, back
home now and considering the uncertain (and slightly sexy) future
looming before them.1. White Christmas 2. Silent Night, Holy
