Wikipedia article"'The Man with All the Toys'" is a Christmas song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1964 album 'The Beach Boys' Christmas Album'. As a single that year it had limited success (No. 6 on the 'Billboard' Christmas chart), but built sales over successive Christmases and is listed by 'Billboard' in the Top 100 selling Christmas songs in history, though well below the Beach Boys' 1963 Christmas single "Little Saint Nick". A French-language version of this song was recorded in 1968 by Canadian singer Rene Martel, under the title "As-tu vu le Pre Nol?".[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO2Vvb_DMXg Rene Martel - "As-tu vu le Pre Nol?"
