This is a great CD. I, too, wish the Heat Miser song was on this one. It is noticeably missing. However, the preeminent version of the Grinch song is on this disc, sung by Boris Karloff (sp?). Others have recorded this song, but none can come close to matching Boris' tone and his ability to get that evil image of the Grinch's smirk bouncing around in your head. Plus, the Grinch song is a great one to play in the office at opportune moments when that not-so-nice boss walks in two hours later in the morning than you do.

You'd have to buy at least 5 CDs to replicate this collection, combining impossible to obtain and very available songs from TV Christmas Specials from the 1960's and 70's. You can't but smile at the unchristmasy, yet uplifting ditty, "Put One Foot In Front Of The Other" sung by Mickey Rooney & Keenan Wynn. And whose heart doesn't swell like the Grinch at the Whos overheard morning singsong, "Welcome Christmas"? A well-considered selection of songs from baby-boomer's Christmas memories in front of the television!

I love listening to Christmas music and I like that this Christmas CD put out by the folks at Nick at Nite has songs from the Christmas specials I watched when I was little. This CD has songs like Frosty The Snowman, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reinder, Holly Jolly Christmas, We Need A Little Christmas, You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch and many more and I highly recommend this CD! FYI: The Snow Miser and Heat Miser songs from The Year Without A Santa Claus are on the 2nd volume of the Nick at Nite Christmas CDs! It is called A Nick At Nite Christmas: Classic Cartoon Christmas Too. I know some people have complained about the song from The Muppet Family Christmas being included but I love that Christmas special and that song!

I got this for Christmas and it is probably the best Christmas present that I got! Yes, these songs are also on other CD's but they don't have the classic Grinch song that was sung by Thurl Ravenscroft, a cute catchy song a lot of people mistakenly believe was song by Boris Karloff but he only did the narration and the voice of the Grinch, the song was really song by Thurl Ravenscroft who is famous for being the voice of Tony the Tiger and if you listen to the song it is unmistakably the same voice as for Frosted Flakes Tony the Tiger and it is sad that these days people don't give him the the credit that he deserves! I love every song on this CD but mainly the Grinch which I have only heard in the Christmas cartoon and I like WE Need A Little Christmas from a Muppet Family Christmas, some balk at that being included saying what does it have to do with cartoons but I think it was included as it is considered Puppet or should I say Muppet animation and that is why it is included and I'm glad it was because the first time I ever heard of this song was in A Muppet Family Christmas and I have been looking for a long tme for their version of the song which has become one of my favorite Christmas songs. I very highly recommend this wonderful CD!

This is a great place to collect the original recordings of many of your favorite songs from the Classic Holiday specials.

The Whoville chant "Welcome Christmas" and the nastily clever "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" are the obvious highlights of The Grinch Stole Christmas and both are found here. Same with the Vince Guaraldi Trio's "Christmas Time Is Here" from A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer is represented by the Burl Ives theme and the delightful "We're A Couple Of Misfits," but left off are Ives' recording of "Silver & Gold" as well as the haunting "There's Always Tomorrow." You'll have to get A Classic Cartoon Christmas Too for that gem as well as "Heat Miser/Snow Miser" (from Year Without A Santa Claus).

A quibble: how does A Muppet Christmas classify as CARTOON Christmas?

All of these songs bring back memories of my childhood and all of the music on this CD is top rate. A wonderful variety that leaves you feeling good all over when you hear it. Everyone should have this CD at Christmas time. Adults and children alike will enjoy it. A MUST HAVE!!

This is a really good CD, it has several songs from the the classic Christmas specials and it is just really nice to listen to them during the Christmas holiday! It has Frosty the Snowman, Your a Mean one Mr. Grinch, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reinder, Holly Jolly Christmas and many more wonderful songs and I highly recommend this CD! BTW: The Snow and Heat Miser songs from The Year Without A Santa Claus are on the next Nick at Nite Christmas CD. Nick At Nite Christmas: A Classic Cartoon Christmas Too.

This is my favorite chistmas CD. My favorite part of the Christmas season (except for the presants) was the day after thanksgiving when my mom would get out the chrismas movies. I watched all of these films 100's of times (I was a little kid). Getting to hear the best songs from them takes me back to the best part of being a kid.

I really liked this CD. It definitely has all the classic songs from the holiday favorite cartoons. Listening to the music can't help but remind you of the christmas specials and all their characters, from Frosty to Rudolf to the Grinch. The one song I wish was on this CD was "Heat Miser"....but I guess I will have to buy Cartoon Classics 2 for that.

This is a great CD, especially if you love the old Christmas movies they made in the 1960s and 1970s. My personal favorite is "One foot in front of the other" So glad that I can share this music with my kids
