I Wouldn't Trade Christmas

Jimmy Van Heusen & Sammy Cahn • 1968

A family Christmas number recorded by Sinatra with his children Frank Jr. and Nancy for the 1968 television special Francis Albert Sinatra Does His Thing. The sentiment is simple and genuine — no amount of worldly success compares to the warmth of Christmas with the people you love.

One of the more personal entries in the Cahn and Van Heusen Christmas catalog, made all the more touching by the real-life family dynamic on the recording.
