With British arranger/conductor handling the transatlantic sessions, 's 1968 Christmas album turned into a swinging affair, from the version of "My Favorite Things" from (how did this song become associated with Christmas?) to seasonal like "White Christmas" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." 's warm style was especially winning on this kind of material, making an inevitable assignment a winning combination of singer and songs. ~ William Ruhlmann
