August 16, 2009: This collection of holiday music set the standard for Christmas albums/cd's that followed. Undoubtedly the best ever.

A True Must Have Holiday Standardby KB-LongIsland

November 04, 2008: You don't have to be a big fan of the Carpenters to appreciate this collection, just a fan of Holiday music. If you were stranded on the North Pole and could only have one Holiday CD to listen to, this would be the one. I've yet to have someone listen to this CD without falling in love with it. It contains more than 60 minutes of traditional Holiday classics that show case the amazing talent of singer Karen Carpenter.

One listen and I'm sure you will agree that her readings are flawless and that her voice is perfectly suited to capture the nuiances and spirit of the many Holiday songs contained in this delightful package. Ballads such as Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and Little Alter Boy showcase her "chill factor" marvalous lower register, while songs like Sleigh Ride and Winter Wonderland radiate with the fun and excitement that are so representative of the Season.

This CD is great for any and all family gatherings because it bridges generations and appeals to almost all sensibilities. You won't be disappointed.
