Nat King Cole's voice and song rendition is synonymous with a traditional Christmas atmosphere, especially if you are trying to relax yet be in the spirit.

this CD always brings back memories of my childhood. Every Christmas we would listen to these songs of Nat's. A must for anyone who enjoys traditional Christmas Music. Add it to your collection!

'This is the classical Christmas music that you and your family will treasure forever. It definately puts you in the Christmas spirit and brings to mind all the joys of the holidays past and future.

Nat King Cole was way before his time. Too bad he passed away so soon. We could have had a lot more beautiful music from him. I'm just sorry the generations since his passing probably don't know what they're missing by not listening to his beautiful voice. It's here to be purchased (at great prices) and listened to. One can't help but be touched by it and just love it. I agree with everyone else, you can't have Christmas without some of our generations' singers, and Nat King Cole is surely one of them.
And by the way, is ANYONE out there recording any Christmas Music these days? I haven't heard any, but then again I don't listen to the popular music of today. They would probably botch it all up so that I wouldn't even recognize it as Christmas music.
Thanks again Amazon for allowing us to replace our LPs and 78's (and even some 45's) with CDs. I'm not a music expert, I just know what I like and when I hear it, and it does not bother me if the people who made it possible to hear this music again after all these years didn't get it as "sharp" or less this or more of that. I'm just not that interested in all of that. So long as it sounds just as good as it did back then, and one must understand that all of that technology wasn't available back then, so one cannot expect that music to sound like it was recorded yesterday. I just want to hear Nat King Cole singing however I can get him. And Andy Williams, And Frank Sinatra, And Perry Como, And Bing Crosby, and Tony Bennett and others who slip my mind right now. I've been shopping for them all on CDs to replace my old worn out things.

I bought this CD mainly based on my fond memories as a child. Honestly I didn't listen to all the track samples and wish I had. There are four tracks such as "The Christmas Song", O Little Town of Bethlehem" and a couple others that I truly love, but there are also some tracks that, though Nat King Cole's voice is superb, suffer from some kitch production from the era. Frost the Snowman for example suffers from some chipmunk style voices injected into it, ugh.

The four stars I gave this are in no way a reflection on Nat King Cole's musical abilities, he is one of the all time classic voices. Unfortunately I almost feel for him now in listening to a few of these tracks. So all in all I guess I've learned to make sure and sample all the tracks on a CD before purchasing and not trusting an aging memory of musical taste from my childhood :)

On the upside, the quality of Nat King Cole's voice and musical feel are simply other worldly in my opinion and I don't regret the purchase in the least.

this conjures up very fond memories of when my family would get together to decorate the xmas tree, lots of classic holiday songs and also some you may of never heard, such as 'the happiest xmas tree' & 'the little boy that santa claus forgot'

This CD is fantastic and will have you feeling quite nostalgic as you put up your Christmas tree and wrap your presents. Would also be a great present for your Mum or Grandma.

Nat has a beautiful voice and the songs are traditional but with flair! A must have for any Nat King Cole fan! There are songs on here you won't find anywhere else.Truly a favorite of mine!
