Based on the premise of a grandfather narrating the nativity story to a group of children decorating their Christmas tree,
Spécial Noël is the charming and festive album from the
Le Top des Tout P'tits brand. Released in 1995, it includes 11 French-language versions of traditional hymns and seasonal classics performed by an uncredited children's choir ("Douce Nuit, Belle Nuit," "Mon Beau Sapin"), interspersed with brief spoken word pieces that attempt to educate children about the true meaning of Christmas. ~ Jon O'Brien
