Rating: - Best Christmas collection
I am a huge Christmas fan. Whenever I begin to feel a little blue I just pop in one of these CD's and I feel like it's Christmas already. This is the best collection of Christmas I have ever heard.

Rating: - An essential Christmas collection
There is perhaps no such thing as the ultimate traditional Christmas music collection, but this comes as close as you're ever going to get. Most of the songs it wouldn't be Christmas Eve without are here, and in their best versions - like Bing Crosby's "White Christmas", Harry Simeone's "Little Drummer Boy" and Gene Autry's "Rudolph" and "Here Comes Santa Claus". The only changes I would make would be to exchange "Baby's First Christmas" and "Tennessee Christmas" for Crosby's "Silver Bells" and a good version of "We Three Kings" - and Nat King Cole's "Christmas Song" instead of Mel Torme's - rather minor griping all things considered. To wrap it all up, Guy Lombardo's classic version of "Auld Lang Syne" ends the album as it symbolically ends the holiday season. Well worth your money if you're starting out your collection.

Rating: - Still searching for the perfect Christmas music collection..
Good selection and variety of artists and songs. Thiscollection falls short,however, in the amount of music -- 30 minutesper CD. You could put the entire collection on one CD, which makes the price tag a bit steep for what you really get. END

Rating: - An Excellent Compilation with One Annoying Flaw
This is a great "starter kit" for anyone who wants to collect Christmas classics and have them on hand for the holidays. However, I cannot fathom why the cloyingly sweet "Baby's First Christmas" is included in the set. Whenever it comes on, my family and I dive for the stereo to advance to the next track.

Rating: - Buy this only if you like 1940's 50's style music
I found the song arrangements were more jazzy 40's, 50's style than traditional choir/orchestra Christmas styles of the 60's, 70's and 80's. I ended up listening to a radio station as background music for Christmas day, instead of the CD's.
