- Masterful - A must for both Christian & heathen alike

I spent 9 years searching for this CD here in South Africa. One search on Amazon and now I am the proud new owner of THE best Christmas CD to grace this planet. The soul, the feeling, the harmony, the emotion - I will certainly treasure this CD for years to come.

Silent Night on this CD is easily THE best song I have heard in my entire life. And I am a music fan of note. Do yourself a favour.

- Stands up to the test of time

The Temptations recorded this one in 1980, a little after their commercial prime. Even though they were no longer topping the pop charts, this is even better than their "Christmas Card" album from 10 years earlier. They chose a more interesting selection of songs this time around, instead of just relying mainly on the standards. The arrangements are good, and their voices are all in ine form. The only fault is that there are only eight songs, but since it is so reasonable priced, that is not really a big deal.

- EXCELLENT

This is the BEST christmas CD ever made. I am jamming to little drummer boy as we speak. This CD is a must have for any music listener, rock, rap, pop, or R&B a must have. I am now 28 yrs old I can rememeber my parents listening to this cd..well record or cassette back in the day and I just had to buy it for myself to share with my family during our chistmas time. But as I said earlier little drummer boy is the best rendention I've ever heard hands down!

- The best renditions of classic and Christmas originals.

I start playing Give Love At Christmas in Setember and listen to it through the new year. It is the best combination of seasonal classics and Temptation originals to get you in the holiday spirit done in done in a way that only the Temptations can. A must for the holiday season.

- A classic in the purest sense

When it comes to most Christmas albums, typically you'll fast forward through a few to get to the best cuts. Not on this album tho. The quality of the recordings are excellent, sounding nothing like you'd expect a 25 year old album to sound. The soaring title track sets the tone form what's yet to come with the soulfull harmonies that the Temps are legendary for. "The Christmas Song" masterfully lead by Dennis is truly the best rendition of the song that I've ever heard. "Love Comes With Christmas" is a gentle loving melody that reminds us of the true spirit of the holiday. "Little Dummer Boy"... The song still gives me chills and the Temps harmonize in the way only the Temps could. The uplifting "This Christmas" is Motown all day. "Everything For Christmas" led by Richard Street. I've never beard this sony done any other way and so this is a true gem on this album. The best romantic Christmas song thas graced my ears period. I even listen to this cut on a regular basis throughout the year. Melvin's "Christmas Everyday" written by Smokey one again will have you bounce'n and jammin'. And then, there is not enough that could be said for Silent Night. They took the most beloved Christmas song and created a version that Joseph Moore, the writter of the lyrics, and Hans Gruber, the composer, would have never expected to become of thier work back in 1818. There is no more soul stirring, joyous and masterfully sung version of this classic. Glenn Lenord's voice soars as lead as well as Melvin's lyrics and Dennis's narration through this 6min song still brings tears to my eyes to this day. Soul fan or not, Christmas spirit or Scroge, The best Chistmas album there is.
