I kinda wish it had been recorded 20 years earlier...

"I'm sorry, but this just absolutely is not Brenda Lee at her prime. It would've been nice to have heard here sing these songs during the sixties, and I will agree that maybe it's better to have these recording than not to have any at all. But unfortunately, the Brenda Lee here just isn't quite the Brenda Lee we all love to remember."
These Aren't The Original Recordings! They Are Rerecordings!

"I don't think this Brenda Lee Christmas CD is awful and I don't have anything against singers rerecording their old songs but I can understand why some people were very disappointed and thought they were getting the original recordings because it always seems when a music studio puts out a CD or cassette tape of rerecordings of a popular singer that they print the info in such tiny print where you need a magnifying glass to read the fine print but with that said I think the rerecordings are actually good. No they aren't as good as the originals but they aren't bad either and I would recommend this CD to fans of Brenda Lee who can tolorate rerecordings!"
Wonderful Christmas Collection from a Wonderful Lady!

"Brenda Lee is like a fine wine, she gets better as she gets older. This is a nice collection of Christmas songs by Brenda. All these other negative reviews is just rubbish! Yes, Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree is not the version from 1958, but we ALREADY have that recording. It's nice, as a Brenda Lee fan, to have something different! If you want the original version, by the CD titled "Jingle Bell Rock" and that will have all the songs recorded in the 1960s. I am very glad Brenda recorded this album 13 years ago. I really like how most of the songs fade into one another. If you are a music fan or a fan of Christmas music, this is a great CD to add to your collection. Brenda Lee will always be the top female singer!"
