Best Christmas Collection December 15, 2007
Dawn Menard (Massachusetts)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am so excited. I purchased this years ago on cassette tape. I looked for it last year on CD and couldn't find it. I thought I would give it another try this year. This is the absolute best collection of Christmas songs. My husband has tried to find others to replace this set when I couldn't find it on CD, even the Time Life collection. It just doesn't do it. Buck Owens - Santa looked a lot like Daddy, Johnny Mathis - Carol of the Bells and I actually like Mel's version of Christmas Song. Bing Crosby and the Andrew Sisters singing Jingle Bells, Boogie Woogie Santa Claus, I could go on and on. My son was going to try and find the songs seperately and burn a CD for me, but now he doesn't have to.
If you are looking for the perfect collection, buy this, even if it is used. You won't regret it. Merry Christmas

 Wonderful Compilation of Christmas Classics! December 8, 2006

LOVE this 2-CD set, and it wouldn't be Christmas at my house without these in our CD changer (right after Andy Williams' "Merry Christmas" album).
I would love to give 5 stars, because truly I think just about every home would benefit from having these great Christmas classics; however, I have to agree with an earlier reviewer: it is simply unbelievable that they put Mel Torme's "The Christmas Song" on instead of Nat King Coles! Yikes, what genius made THAT decision? That right there was reason enough to subtract one star...
My only other complaints -- the "I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", and "All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth" get on my nerves (like the earlier reviewer). However, I think this is just a personal taste issue -- they are "classics", and some people love them (like my kids for instance, LOL).
LOVE these 2 CDs -- will never be without them come Christmas time! Highly recommend them. : )
The ultimate Christmas soundtrack December 5, 2006

Rhino's "Home for Christmas" may be the ultimate Christmas compilation ever (except for the grievous oversight of replacing Nat King Cole's Christmas Song with the Mel Torme version). If you love nostalgic tunes from when you were growing up, this is a no-brainer: Gene Autry, Judy Garland, Guy Lombardo, Mario Lanza, Bing Crosby, the Orioles, and Brenda Lee are some of the many fabulous artists featured.
There are few misses on the 2 CD set. As previously mentioned, I would have preferred to see Nat King Cole's version of The Christmas Song; as he's featured on other tracks, it probably wasn't a licensing issue. Also, I'm not a big fan of Spike Jones, and Jimmy Boyd's I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus is grating. Otherwise, this is as warming as a cup of hot cocoa and sure to get you into the Christmas spirit. Rhino, you need to reissue this gem!
Love and joy come to you. December 20, 2005
