Great for listening once a year.  So it leans heavily on the Phil Spector album, but that is a great album.  The rest, like actual Christmas music, is a solid mix of cool stuff with a ton of cheese.  Absent of course is that Paul song I am not very fond of, but I might listen to that one as well.  I guess I'm just in the spirit a little more than usual this year.  I am not really sure why.
