Bobby Vinton's
Great Songs of Christmas
may be a little predictable -- apart from the interesting novelty
"Santa Must Be Polish"
and
Sonny James'
"Christmas in My Hometown," all the songs are standards ("Silver Bells," "O Little Town of Bethlehem," "Jingle Bells," "Deck the Halls," "Silent Night," etc.) -- but that doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable. The arrangements are a little flat and clean, but appealing, and
Vinton's
performances are all entertaining, which makes
a good holiday choice for his fans. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
