Perry Como 'The Story Of The First Christmas'

Perry recorded two versions of "The Story Of The First Christmas". The first version (originally titled "The First Christmas") was recorded in 1950 and released as a special DJ pressing. This second version was recorded on July 13, 1959 and released on the 1959 album, Season's Greetings From Perry Como. The track was arranged by Joe Lipman and Jack Andrews with Mitchell Ayres and His Orchestra, and was produced by Charles Grean and Lee Schapiro.

Dad played this every year when we decorated the Christmas tree. A great influence in my life and a wonderful memory song.

I heard this on Pandora this morning and it took me back years. My mum would play this over and over at Christmas. Thank you YouTube for posting. Now I can watch when I want. It has brought back so many wonderful memories.

Very wonderfully presented! Amazing! The Creator of the universe was born in the stable to save us from our sins! And yet the devil has created so many false religions in our world to deceive us from the true salvation. Christ means, anointed One and Jesus means, the Savior of our souls from the sins of this world. Let us repent and be saved while there is still some time left! Because we want to have eternal life at the end of this life on earth. See you there! Thank you.
