General notes about this release (please note: our version may differ a little. see the comments above):

Original 1956 issue, with label logo on top and "Vocal with Orchestra" designation at right, as on pressings made every holiday season through 1958; other differences from later pressings (as from 1960, 1962 and 1973) include:
- A side publisher shown as 'E. H. Morris & & Co., Inc.'
1959 pressings used this same design and layout (and ditched the second & from the A side publisher credit), but eliminated the "F" from the catalogue number.

Lacquers with 'N' designation mastered in New York, and 'D' lacquers mastered in Hollywood (D5 lacquer on Side B cut around 1953 and metal part thereof reused for some pressings of this record)

A. The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You) 3:12
B. The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot 2:31
