"On the cover of Jimmy Smith's 1964 Christmas album, the organist is decked out in a Santa suit behind the wheel of a red sports car with a tree and presents in tow. The irreverent and fun photograph is a good primer to the contents inside, for this is no hackneyed rundown of a group of well-worn holiday favourites. Instead, Smith puts a soulful and exciting stamp on each track, along with the help of arrangers Billy Byers and Al Cohn.
As was usual practice for many of Smith's Verve albums, he is joined on five numbers by a large brass orchestra. For the album's remaining three songs, he uses his working band of guitarist Quentin Warren and drummer Billy Hart."
