Review of Now, That’s What I Call Christmas 1, 2, and 3
(Now, That’s What I Call Christmas 1, 2, and 3 were provided to me by Special Ops Media for the purpose of review.)
If you are looking for a way to add variety to your Christmas music collection, then Now, That’s What I Call Christmas CDs are the way to go. These CDs hold a very eclectic collection of Christmas music. You’ve got classics from the old-timers like Bing Crosby, Johnny Mathis, Frank Sinatra, and Judy Garland. You’ve got cult classics like “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” and “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.” And you’ve even got today’s music stars like Britney, Christina, Jessica, Relient K, Celine Dion. Oh, and don’t forget the country favorites, too - Kenny Rogers, Alison Krauss, George Strait, and Kathy Mattea. I’m not kidding - everything from Pavarotti to NSync. And if certain songs bug the heck out of you, like, let’s say Cyndi Lauper’s version of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” or anyone’s version of “Feliz Navidad”, you can just skip to the next one, cause it’s bound to be one you’ll like.
