 Another wonderful Time Life Christmas treasure trove November 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As with the first Christmas CD that I reviewed, which technically goes hand in hand with this particular Christmas CD (originally they were sold as a set), I must say that this one is just as amazing as the other one. As I said, these are the original songs by the original artists and the sounds are top notch. Burl Ives was a local son from my hometown area and many of us will remember him as "Sam the Snowman" in "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and there are many other wonderful singers on the CD from years past. These remind me of Christmases from when I was growing up, the big family dinners at our house, the aromas of great homecooking, the tree, decorations, the cold and snow outside, the presents and of course the fellowship of family and friends that would "stop by" bearing gifts and wishing us a very Merry Christmas. Those were very happy times for me! So please - buy a copy of this CD - it can make remembering old traditions memorable and also make fabulous new traditions for the youngsters out there!
 Christmas the way it was back home August 31, 2008
When we play this Christmas CD, we suddenly find ourselves back in time when we were kids listening to the stereo at home on Chrismtas Day. It's a perfect way to create or recall Christmas memories.
Good Memories January 18, 2008
This CD has a good selection of traditional Christmas songs from the original artists that I remember from my childhood. You know, when it was still OK to say "Merry Christmas" to someone on the street. I played this CD and the other Time-Life Christmas CD all December long. I want my kids to have these songs as their Christmas memories as I do.
a worthwhile collection November 18, 2007
I enjoy Mehdi"Christmas Treasures",Charlie Brown Christmas ,Mannheim Steamroller etc.and this a magnificent production that I also enjoy just as much. The Time-Life Treasury of Christmas combines both volumes of the series into a two-CD set. Christmas Spirit features some of the season's liveliest pop hits, such as Perry Como's "Home for the Holidays," Ella Fitzgerald's "Jingle Bells," and Julie Andrews' "Joy to the World," as well as mellower songs like Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" and Andy Williams' "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Meanwhile, Christmas Memories gathers more nostalgic Christmas favorites, including Gene Autry's "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," Johnny Mathis' "Sleigh Ride," Elvis Presley's "I'll Be Home for Christmas," and Guy Lombardo's "Auld Lang Syne." Comforting and traditional, The Time Life Treasury of Christmas is a worthwhile collection of some of Christmas' biggest hits.
 Only half the songs of the original set!! January 16, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Although I love the CDs, I was disappointed that there were only about half of the songs I thought there would be. I bought the original double cassette set back in the early 90's and when I found the CDs with the same name and cover, I thought I was getting the same thing only on CD. But the Cassettes had twice as many songs, including Let it Snow,Have Yourself a merry Little Christmas,The First Noel, Jingle Bells by Jim Reeves, The Christmas song by the Carpenters and so many others!!
