5.0 out of 5 stars The one to have..., November 23, 2000
By William Adair (Logan, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This "Ultimate Christmas" is indeed the one holiday CD to have if you can only have one. The definitive versions of "White Christmas," "Blue Christmas," and of course "The Christmas Song" are here. Ella Fitzgerald, Eartha Kitt (!!), and Aretha add sass and soul to the mix. Boyz to Men and Sarah McLachlan's contributions are pleasant surprises. Judy Garland's "Have yourself a merry little Christmas" is heart-breaking. The mix is excellent and the sound quality is first-rate.

Here at the University I'm surrounded by world-wise ultra-hip cynics, but even they soften up after listening to this CD. A wonderful way to get into the holiday spirit!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, November 24, 1999
By Ashleigh Overly (Lancaster, PA) - See all my reviews
This CD is a must have for any christmas music enthusiast. It goes from upbeat and modern to the tradional carols with the older generation singers. It features a variety of singers, past and present, which give it a really good mix. Sarah MaClauglhin's Song For A Winter's night is one of the best songs on the cd. The song is very soothing and very beautifuly written. The Boyz II Men Silent Night intro is also very beautiful. Of course, the Judy Garland "have yourself.." is a beautiful way to the end the album All in all it deserves to be in everyone's christmas collection as a must have for any christmas function, wheter it be a party or just relaxing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Christmas CD to keep, December 26, 2002
By A reader "peaseblossom67" (Chatsworth, GA USA) - See all my reviews
If you are only going to buy one Christmas music CD, this is the one to have. It has a great mix of both religious and popular songs, from O Holy Night to Frosty the Snowman. There is also a wide range of artists, from Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley to Whitney Houston and Luther Vandross. Some song renditions are the traditional versions you've heard all your life, such as the Bing Crosby White Christmas. Others, such as the Whitney Houston version of Joy to the World, are fresh and original. The Sarah McLachlan rendition of Song For a Winter's Night is heartbreakingly beautiful. I've bought other Christmas CDs in the past that were limited in scope and I no longer own them. Ultimate Christmas is a keeper.
