Album Description
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. ~ Heather Phares

If you want that old-fashioned holiday feeling of spending Christmas in your grandparents' house while they pull out some of their favorite Yuletide LPs and play them on a well-worn phonograph (that's for records, kids), THE TIME-LIFE TREASURY OF CHRISTMAS is here to help. This two-disc collection is based around well known Christmas recordings by some of the biggest crooners of the pre-rock era. The original smoothie Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" is as unassailable as it is ubiquitous. Ella Fitzgerald sounds just as transcendent singing "Jingle Bells" as she did on any other tune she ever tackled. Even when Elvis Presley pops up, rock & roll is eschewed in favor of the lovelorn Christmas anthem "Blue Christmas."
