I like the cover art, but looks like it is neither the original release cover nor the Pickwick release, which eliminated the 4 gospel tunes on it. The one I play at Christmas is the Pickwick release.This album has some weirdness attached to it, including a vendetta against it by Irving Berlin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis'_Christmas_Album

Mele Kalikimaka from Christmas Vacation. Click on the green link to play the song.I laugh every time I hear this song. I can see Clark looking out the window to his dream swimming pool with "Merry" taking off her suit and then you see Cousin Eddy jumping up and down on the diving board.Too funny

Do you suffer from dyschromatopsia? :blind::dance2::dance2:I found a red colored link only (the one with Bing Crosby).

The green one towards the bottom of the page before you have to scroll down. It says."Click here to play Mele Kalikimaka, sung by Bing Crosby":confused:

I've got a Sinatra Christmas CD in the car, plus I think it includes the entire Rat Pack. I'll check tomorrow.I tend to stick to the classics. Especially Nat King Cole's renditions. He was awesome, but died too soon, way too soon.

;););)Eingefügtes BildNah, maybe not my favorite, although I did like their rendition of "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" a lot. I don't have a whole lot (i.e., any) Christmas albums, though Giant Eagle has a huge display if them out now: Elvis, Jimmy Buffett, a ton of the classics...see, now you all got me in the mood for one!I do have more in the way if individual songs, though. The Kinks "Father Christmas" was always a favorite, even if it is pretty mean spirited for the holidays (though they do work a message in: Remember the kids who don't have anything this holiday). Oh, and because it's the first thing that popped to mind, the B-side of this single (look in the red banner in the upper right corner):Eingefügtes Bild

Trans Siberian Orchestra, their CDs don't do the live show justice.The first "Very Special Christmas".....Stevie Nicks doing "Silent Night", and The Pretenders doing "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas"....great.

A red colored link.I'm afraid you have to go to an eye specialist. :dance2::dance2:It's not a joke or a counterfeit.But you can chill out :hot:-->:freeze: I found out that there IS a red line. As soon as you click on it it turns into green ;):).
