This CD contains well known Christmas songs performed by well-known singers spanning three-quarters of a century - from Doris Day through to the wonderful Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" is the highlight track for me.
Sinead O'Connor gives a great rendition of "Silent Night". Fans of Elvis, the Jackson Five, Doris Day, or Guy Lombardo will enjoy their contributions, though none of their songs on this movie soundtrack do anything for me.

Bookworm (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I saw the movie and it was OK, good but not great, but I loved the music and immediately bought the CD.

The product is what I wanted - the songs are all there and they are great and the service was fast and I got exactly what I ordered, BUT on the first playing...the CD skips. I haven't tried to return it yet, but will.

The Best Song in the movie is not on the CD, Where the Elves and Vince Vaugn rock out to in the work shop is not on this CD, That song is "Rubberneckin" by Elvis with the remix

This is, quite simply, a strong Christmas album with some "shake your shimmy" verve and the usual good-times aura. The songs selected for the current (and very funny) Christmas film starring Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamatti, and Miranda Richardson, are an ideal collage of all the possible moods of Christmas--rockin' (with Elvis), classic for the kiddies (Doris Day's "Here Comes Santa Claus") and some more obscure choices, all of which work.
A really top-notch Holiday or Holiday Party album that'll hold up well, because these are superb Christmas tunes. Sinead O'Connor's version of 'Silent Night'(with Peter Gabriel on keyboards) is, believe it or not, the most haunting and utterly goose-pimply version of this song ever done, IMO. VERY Christmas "reverent."
Highly Recommended CD for anyone celebrating the Season, and if you are a collector of Christmas Music CDs, you must, of course, include this one.
