The execution of this track is just perfect. You can totally imagine Rowlf sitting at the piano and John leaning over. Plus, all Rowlf's asides make it feel all the more like a genuine collaboration. Truly the best version of a wonderful song.
Always loved this album! Absolutely wonderful to hear the muppets together with John Denver’s soft and beautiful voice! RIP Jim Henson and John Denver!
I have listened to this album EVERY Christmas since i was born in 1991. There's something about it, it's not Christmas without this CD. I could be in Santa's sleight delivering but it's still not right until I hear the John Denver and The Muppets!
Thank god I still have the vinyl. For me it's just not the same without the cracks and pops. I don't remember a Christmas without it, and I was born in '82.
My Grandchildren love listening to this, to and from school. We needed a new one this year(wore out the other one). I just ordered it a few minutes ago. Thank you for posting!
I remember watching a movie version of this album as a kid, my aunt had taped it off for us. I wish that it had been put onto DVD, so that I could show my kids someday.
I am so happy to find this here And glad that a friend of mine got this CD for my family so long ago... Its been our tree decorating CD ever since I was young... I need a tissue...
This is the first christmas present my little sister ever bought - she gave it to me and we sang these songs year around. She was my best friend for 40 years I lost her last July and life is so different now. Do everything you can to let the people you love KNOW that you love them - don't ever miss an opportunity to smile at them. Don't ever let them go away without a hug. It's impossible to describe the depth of pain and loss - don't compound that with regrets for things left unsaid..
With that in mind, Sharon, Thank you so much for being my sister and best friend. I will never ever love myself as much as you loved me - and I know you feel that way, too. Rest and be at peace. We will take care of your sons and always remind them how much you loved being their Mom. I love you so much, C
My absolute favorite version of this song, it's absolute perfection
Bro the “Hang a shining star soon the highest bar” gives me chills every time 1:12
Jim just gave it his all for the lyric
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

You should watch the tv special. That is pretty much what happens. Rowlf and John and a piano. My favorite version as well.

A perfect combination, John Denver and The Muppets. Beautiful Music!!
Fuck man. That's Jim Henson and John Denver in a cozy little Christmas piano duet. It's 3 AM on Christmas and I'm bawling.

Born in '75. I still have my vinyl copy. This has been such a lifelong staple with so many memories attached.
Same, this is my Childhood. Born in '76.
As close to perfect as a country singer and muppet could ever be
My favorite version!
Such a great song/album. Every Christmas since I was a kid. Born '76. Play it for my kids now. Takes some of us back........
what a great idea to partner both John Denver and Jim Henson together for this song
Best....Christmas....album.....PERIOD....Johnny Mathis, Nat, and Bing have nothing on this
thanks for posting this. i didn't grow up in the time of john denver, but my dad is a big fan, and so i've grown up with him.
