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."

Buyer Beware! This is NOT the same music as the original 2-CD Time-Life Treasury of Christmas in the exact same jacket!
I have the original and love it so much I decided to order 2 for gifts. What I got was a bunch of music that's no where near as good with only 1/2 the number of songs on it as the original.
The awesome 2-disc Time-Life Christmas has 23 songs on the first disc and 22 on the 2nd for a total of 45 songs. If you want to purchase the good one make sure it's the one with 45 songs.
