    John Denver's estate is being fought over by his descendants. So none of this stuff is available for purchase. It's one reason why the Muppet Show season 4 never made it to DVD.

I love it so much my parents bought it for me on CD when I was in HS. Now today, as it's my Mom's heavenly birthday... it reminds me of her. Such fond memories.

    Thank you for sharing your memories. I thought I was reading something I wrote… my mother had passed away a couple years ago and I cry when I listen to this now because I had those same memories with her as you had with yours. I thought the magic died when she left us but now that I have 2 babies of my own, I am going to carry on her legacy and try to keep that magic alive…starting with this ❤.

Kiddos aren't in my future, but that gave me an idea that maybe next year I'll start a tradition with my friends to do a baking day or weekend and it might be nice for them too, because these are friends that used to come over and bake with us when I was a kid. Even get my Dad into it. 🥰@@desireegrider161

    It may sound corny, but there's something about Rowlf the Dog and John Denver singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" -- the combination of Rowlf (Jim Henson's) craggy voice and John's sweet tenor -- that just puts a lump in my throat every time. With any other Muppet or any other singer, it would probably just be cheesy. With these two, it's just ... magical.

All classics from my younger days, but I still love them each year When John was the height of his career, I think I saw 👀 him somewhere around 10 times in concert around the Chicago area. Always a class act 👏 ; too bad that he's passed away 😢 now !

    I was born in 1980 and I grew up listening to this record at Christmas time. I tear up hearing some of the songs. John Denver's voice hits my heart like nothing else and takes me back in time. "I know there is a light. I have felt it burn inside, and I have seen it shining from afar."

Thanks for uploading! It funny to watch the orginal muppet show now, most of the episodes stands the test of time really well. Funny though, so many adult jokes, that I missed at a child. Never used to understand the meaning of Statler and Waldorf either. Now I love them! Thanks Jim Henson Rip! Hope you found your rainbow!🌈 connection!

    I remember Dec 1979, when this premiered,well-I was ten and in fifth grade. In fact,for Xmas that year I got the soundtrack on--ready for this--8 track! Remember those? Yes,I'm showing my age,certainly,having grown up with eight track tapes(I'm 48, and still have the eight track tape to this day.) Also,how nice it would have been if they had made a Xmas special with John D and the sesame street gang(yes,I know there's Xmas eve on SS,which premiered the year before this,in fact), but still,after seeing all of the muppets here-Kermit and Miss piggy,and Janice and Floyd,etc,all snuggled together while singing Silent night,can't you just picture,say,in the case of the SS humans,Susan and Gordon,David and Maria(as he was still her beau at the time,as seen in Xmas eve special), and Bob and Linda,all snuggling together while singing Silent Night? And,so as not to lead others to think that I think Bert and Ernie are gay(I don't think they are!), say,Betty lou or Prairie Dawn sitting between Bert and Ernie,while singing silent night and we wish you a Merry Xmas. That would be neat,now that I think about it,so as to teach preschoolers the religious part of Xmas,just as John does here,before they sing Silent night. Merry Christmas,to all of my fellow youtubers, especially those I recognize as regular old school SS and electric company viewers-MIKECNW,Jon Clip,afriendofbean,Tiny Dancer,Francis C and diestasfus.

(I couldn't remember the name of it, or who was in precisely, which probably didn't help. Lol). And ever since then whenever I'd hear a John Denver song it would drive ke absolutely bonkers trying to figure out where i recognized that voice from! Glad to know I'm not nuts, after all!
