    Yes, “it’s the most wonderful time of the year”. Johnny sings it with such enthusiasm and joy and projects it on to his audience! I also like to hear Andy Williams sing it.

    Johnny Mathis is Christmas in our home. I have been listening to his Christmas songs since the 1950's and have his original album.

    This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. And of course, John Mathis gives it his great voice and enthusiasm! His voice is just charismatic! I listen to him almost every day.

    I LOVED this special when it was originaly shown on CBS back then in December 1993!!!!
    It gets everyone in the mood for Christmas if you are not already-it adds to the love and joy of Christmas time.
    And the best part of this special- Michael C!! His hypnotic and alluring voice made me cry!
    I wish this special was on DVD!!!

    Johnny is a truly nice guy. I gave him my toy Jaguar, with no tires, when I was about 6 or 7 instead of asking for an autograph. He switched on his microphone to tell the audience and said that I couldn't afford the tires. Made my day!

    Johnny Mathis and that once in a lifetime voice did great with this rendition of the song!! I'd still rate it a very close second to Andy Williams'. I'm sort of traditional. The song reminds me of my Grandmothers. They both passed in '72. They both had his X-mas albums.

    Oh no, Johnny is alive and well, and he recorded this in 1993. He recorded his first Christmas album in 1958, but this wasn't on it. Since then, he's done another 7 or 8 Christmas albums. This song was from the David Foster Christmas Album.
    Happy New Year to you too!

    Nobody is saying that Johnny Mathis and Obama look alike. Check out the extra who passes Johnny at the :55 mark. He's the one with the resemblance to Obama that has everyone amused.

  • @OceanKingNY

    @dante8781 It was probably part of the show. The director must have had Johnny and all of the extras rehearse their movements and facial expressions many times before shooting started.
