Featuring 1960's and '70's country legend Connie Smith, whose version of "The First Noel" is included in this collection - as are 29 other recordings including "Deck the Halls" by Chet Atkins, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Jimmy Dean, "The Little Drummer Boy" by Ray Price, and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" and "Christmas Time Is Here Again" by Marty Robbins (snippets of which are heard during the course of this ad) - all on three records and two 8-track tapes.

Ending voiceover by Bud Kelly. (Bumper slide typesetting in IBM Selectric Composer Univers Bold.)
