This is my favorite Christmas collection of songs. Actually this is a really nice cd to listen to any time of the year. Elvis's favorite time of the year was Christmas and he sang those and gospel pretty much all the time. This cd has 24 tracks, mostly standard Christmas songs sung by Irving Berlin and Bing Crosby that he recorded. My favorite being the Merry Christmas Baby, where Elvis is having fun with the song. Elvis only did three Christmas albums and I think this is the best one. (RCA kept repackaging them) If you want to add a holiday cd to your collection then this is well worth it ( or if your an Elvis fan ). Not much into Christmas music you might want to pass.
Elvis sang 20 Christmas songs, all of which you will find on this CD along with 4 alternate takes. The standard versions of these songs can also be found on the currently available CD "Elvis Christmas" except for "If Every Day Was Like Christmas", and the 4 alternates. So this is the most complete CD of his Christmas carols. The title cut and "It Won't Seem Like Christmas Without You" are nice ballads, as are many of the other songs herein. You get the Elvis signature song "Blue Christmas", plus the unique "Santa Claus is Back in Town", and typical Elvis sounds like "Santa Bring My Baby Back". Traditionals such as "The First Noel" and "Silver Bells" are beautifully sung. And his rendition of "Silent Night" begins with his personal greeting. There's even one tune that mentions a train--"I'll Be Home On Christmas Day". As a bonus, a 16-page booklet goes into the history of some of the songs, details of the recording sessions, and public reaction to the records when released. Some copies of this CD also came as a special edition with a "Winter at Graceland" pop-up. If the pop-up is important to you be sure to check with the seller to see if it is included. At any rate, the CD and booklet are a great addition to any Elvis collection or Christmas music library.Read full review
Great sound to this CD in car CD system, Elvis' voice and the back ground music and backup singers. Not all songs were the typical Christmas ones, good selection. Very easy to listen to. Two of the songs were going around in my head so had to buy the CD so I could play them when I wanted. In fact it is still in the car's CD player and played them last night.
This cd combines the two Christmas albums Elvis recorded plus a Christmas single. The cd is named after the single. I grew up listening to these Elvis albums. And they warm my heart.

If you collect Elvis original sheet music, this is a great buy. It is the original 1967 sheet music for the song written by Red West who was Elvis' bodyguard and friend.
