Of course Denver, in supreme warm, gentle, sentimental mode, plays a big part in that. But there's genuine depth and gravitas on the album as well. ![]() The fun, witty side of the Muppets is on display in takes on The Twelve Days of Christmas, Christmas is Coming, We Wish You A Merry Christmas ("Piggy pudding?!"), and a cover of The Beach Boys' Little Saint Nick by Dr. In fact, it's pretty amazing the way the Muppet performers (Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, and Dave Goelz) can elicit genuine emotion while singing in a weird voices.Ī Christmas Together illustrates that perfectly. If you think about it, music has always been an integral part of the appeal of the Muppets, from Sesame Street to The Muppet Show to the various Muppet movies. By all accounts I was a Muppet-obsessed kid from age 2 on, and so for as long as I can remember A Christmas Together has been my favorite Christmas album.
