Few things go as well with a crackling Christmastime fire as the warm, toasty voice of Andy Williams. The pop legend wraps his pipes around Sleigh Ride; Silent Night; White Christmas; My Favorite Things; The First Noel; Christmas Bells; The Bells of St. Mary; O Come All Ye Faithful , and more!

My only wish is that they had included a few more tracks - while 15 selections may seem like a generous offering, with most of the songs clocking in under 3 minutes we're still left with less than 40 minutes of play time. Certainly there is room for frantic "Kay Thompson's Jingle Bells", "Some Children See Him", and the touching "Sweet Little Jesus Boy". Better yet release both "Andy Williams Christmas Album" (aka the "red" album) and "Merry Christmas" (the "green" album) on one CD. That's the ticket!

Still this is the best of the best from one of the true voices of Christmas and certainly the way to go if you're only going to get ONE Andy Williams Christmas CD.

The Most Wonderful Kind Of Christmas CollectionOct 19, 2001
By P. Kingsriter "R.N. Guy"
When I was growing up, Andy Williams' "red" yuletide album was the quintessential Christmas record. The instantly recognizable opening chords of the joyful number "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" always greeted us first thing Christmas morning.

Mr. Williams' "Personal Christmas Collection" combines the best of the red album (simply titled "Christmas Album") with hits from his very popular green album (entitled "Merry Christmas"). The Collection is a merry combination of both secular and sacred favorites, and an enthusiastic ode to some of the best holiday music ever written and recorded.

Pick up a copy and start a new tradition of your own!

A must for your holiday collection!Dec 27, 2004
By c2
My husband surprised me with this record before Christmas and I absolutely love it. If you grew up in the 60s, it's hard to imagine a household from that era that didn't have at least one of Williams' holiday albums to enjoy. This one is such a nice combination of secular and sacred Christmas music and we just love it. I'm so glad that we found this record so that we can pass on the holiday tradition to our own children. What a great way to celebrate the season!

Andy's Best Christmas CollectionNov 24, 1998

Andy Williams is another great singer who always brings good cheer for Christmas. Over the years I've grown up watching his Christmas specials on television and hearing his Christmas music. If only Nick At Nite or one of the other cable stations would rerun his holiday specials during December!
