This is a great sampler of traditional Christmas music. Jingle Bells is great! Auld Lang Syne is another really good recording with very smooth, harmonious voices. No suprises here, no weirdness, just good, traditional stuff. Also the recordings are very good quality at a terrific price!

Who says you can't get something for nothing? This is a great selection of Christmas season tunes and....they're free! Thank you again, Amazon, for this wonderful gift!

Sometimes it pays to check your e-mail messages from Amazon when you've signed up for the various newsletters here, and this is a good example. Found this Amazon Holiday Sampler listed, checked it, and found an excellent surprise for those who might want to add to their collection of traditional holiday music, with some interesting surprises.

The tracks on this sampler are:

1. I Wish You A Merry Christmas, by Bing Crosby
2. Deck The Halls, by Peggy Lee
3. The Nutcracker Suite, by Les Brown & His Band Of Renown
4. Auld Lang Syne (Remixed 1991), by The Beach Boys
5. Jingle Bells, by the Roger Wagner Chorale

This is an excellent mix, and it's easy to download while it's available. Just click on the gold "Get MP3" button and follow the self-explanatory directions that come up on the next screen to download the installer, which makes future purchases and free downloads so easy.

Other excellent MP3 holiday freebies from Amazon include:

* Angels We Have Heard On High, by Brian Setzer

* Joy To The World, by Symphony Brass of Chicago

* Ave Maria, by Heart

* Warm Me Up, by Elliott Yamin


There are also three wonderful free offerings from the original CD A Charlie Brown Christmas: The Original Sound Track Recording Of The CBS Television Special (admittedly a personal favorite) that are available as well:

* O Tannenbaum, by Vince Guaraldi Trio

* Greensleeves, by Vince Guaraldi Trio

* Fur Elise, by Vince Guaraldi Trio

The nice part is they're all right there for you to download, and all for free. But for how long? Don't know that, so check them out while you can. BTW, if you see any freebie holiday MP3s from Amazon that should be added here, please post them in the comments here, along with a link.

Thanks, Amazon... and Happy Holidays to all!

Nice Selection of Holiday Music. I could pass on the short Beach Boys Auld Lang Syne in lieu of something else, but it's free. Thanks Amazon!

Thanks Amazon for some free Christmas classics! Tis the season for giving, and Amazon is doing just that. Downloading was a breeze for me.

What can I say? Great songs always has been. It was really nice to get it as a free MP3 download from Amazon. I was so surprized when I listened to the album. The Nut Cracker Suite! WOW. I just started getting songs here because of a $5 gift certificate and found all these great free downloads, Thanks Amazon

Thanks a lot, Amazon! If you don't have much holiday music, why not add to it? These are all great old staples, terrific background or "off to see Santa" tunes. Put them in your playlist now, and you'll have something else to be thankful for!

It really is a nice selection for free much better than what iTunes has offered. Thanks Amazon!

Free Is Great! Please don't complain when the MP3 is a free album, especially at Christmas. Amazon is smart enough to provide extra value especially for those of us who also purchase their mp3 and CD music values. AND I have never been erronously billed for "free" mp3 music, it works great! If you want "Free", just click-on "free" and you'll get it free! I use a folder named "Amazon mp3 music" in my "My Music" folder that is set to automatically receive all the mp3 albums and individual downloads whether they're free or I buy them. Then I can mix and match and make up my own combos just like a high-class disc-jockey! HooHah!

got this amazon holiday sampler for free, it was very nice to listen to last year. i would recommend it.
