Song Information
Merry Christmas from Our House to Your House
Featured Performer(s):
Lawrence Welk Singers
Song Credits:
George Cates (Composer), Green (Composer)
The warm, neighborly spirit of friendship that lights up all our houses at
Christmastime glow through this inviting song, composed by Lawrence Welk's
musical director, George Cates. The lyrics, expressing the heartfelt emotions of this holiday season, are sung by the twenty-eight voices of the Lawrence Welk
Singers. This group, which has a remarkably intimate feeling for such a large ensemble of voices, is conducted by Lyn Murray, who led vocal groups for Andre Kostelanetz and on the Hit Parade radio show before he brought his talents to the Welk organization. He has also served as an arranger for such singers as Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and the late Judy Garland. This paragraph taken from the Reader's Digest collection, "Merry

The exciting sights and sounds of Christmas in the city come sparklingly
alive as Jim Roberts and Norma Zimmer join their voices to sing this unique
Christmas song. Most Christmas songs are built around the religious aspects of
the holiday or family gatherings or, if an outdoor scene is depicted, it is the
snow-covered country or a cozy small town. But in this song, the big city, with
its lights, glittering shop windows and busy shoppers, also has a warm,
Christmas feeling which has been caught by Ray Evans and Jay Livingston. This paragraph taken from the Reader's Digest collection, "Merry
