Have your Christmas parties been lacking that special something--good music, great invitations, that Norman Rockwell quality? Or even a good salsa? Never fear; Rhino Records feels your pain and has come up with an all-in-one solution: two CDs of Christmas standards (complete with requisite offerings from Brenda Lee, the Beach Boys, Buck Owens, Burl Ives, and a whole bunch of people whose names don't start with "B"), sample invitations, carols, decoration ideas, recipes, and even coupons to help out with those recipes (yup, that's where the salsa comes in). While it's no substitute for entire holiday albums from the Ventures, Vince Guaraldi, and a bunch of other people whose names don't start with "V," this is a great package for anyone throwing his or her first Christmas get-together--or for those looking to revitalize their yearly party. --Randy Silver

Customer Reviews

Christmas Spirit
If your like me & Christmas is your favorite time of the year. You also enjoy the comfort of family & friends at your holiday get togethers. There is no better christmas CD to purchase for these events than this one. It will bring the true feeling of Christmas Spirit to life. With Classics such as Bing Crosby, Doris Day, Chuck Berry & many more favorites, along with traditional christmas instrumentals. This is the perfect accesory to your holiday delight.

Better then best - for good boys and girls
Face it, Christmas music can be really hokey. So rather than sit through another elevator music rendition of "The Little Drummer Boy" (by the way, it's on this album), why not swing with the Ventures, Chuck Berry, Eartha Kitt, Spike Jones, the Beach Boys and more?

This album has all those quirky Christmas songs you hear in the background of funky radio bits and commercials. Plus recipes, invitations, pithy liner notes, lyrics and special "karaoke" sing along tracks, etc. All in the impeccable Rhino Records packaging and sparkling masters.

Now where did I put my hot toddy?
