If I could only pick one Christmas CD for a trip, this would be it. It's not a song, pause, next song...the songs flow right from one into another. Every emotion that you feel around the holidays is on this CD. His duet, "Baby It's Cold Outside," is the best I've heard since Dean Martin's version. You're right there in his New York apartment with a blizzard going on outside. And, of course, the final song is his famous, "It's Just Another New Year's Eve," which I think has saved many a person's sanity over the holidays. I know a previous reviewer lamented the fact that this CD should not be sold in supermarkets or on bargain racks...but you know, maybe other people like us will discover and share the excellence of this Christmas music.

"Because its CHRISTmas" is probally my Favorite Christmas CD ever.My second Favorite is The Carpenters.This record is a concept album that never breaks,the music never stops,and its ALL GREAT,From "THe Christmas Song," to "Its just another New Years Eve." If you are not satisfied with this CD,I will buy it back from you.

This has been my favorite Christmas album for years. The entire album is fabulous -- not a bad song on it. I love the way the each song transitions into the next. The duet of Baby It's Cold Outside is the best version EVER. And the Messiah montage is beautiful. An outstanding effort.

This is my favorite Christmas Album and one of my favorite Barry Manilow albums of all time. The single "Because its Christmas" alone is worth buying this album.

This is a fab album. I bought this beauty when it was new. Beautifully recorded and performed, this album does not belong in the budget rack. This platinum recording should go out of print instead of the status it now holds. If this album (cd) is available at the nearest grocery, it'll be the best six bucks you've ever spent. What a tragedy.
