	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Christmas Interpretations, Boyz II Men, Cassette
		Boyz II Men followed their hugely successful debut, Cooleyhighharmony, with Christmas Interpretations, which is a pretty intelligent choice, given that Christmas albums by established artists tend to sell year after year, while pop albums tend to sell mostly at the time of their popularity.
		There aren't any interpretations of Christmas classics to be found on this record, save for their a cappella rendition of "Silent Night." This album is pure, lushly produced quiet storm and, because of the lack of traditional favorites, could be played at any time of year.
		This set is a cozy, velvety, and hip quiet storm Christmas album with touches of jazz, nostalgia, and melancholy but, at times, one yearns to hear the Boyz' lush harmonies wrapped around traditional favorites.

	Colonial Christmas Customs
		Christmas in colonial Virginia was very different from our twentieth-century celebration.
		Sally Cary Fairfax was old enough to keep a journal and old enough to attend a ball at Christmas 1771, so she was not one of the "tiny tots with their eyes all aglow." The emphasis on Christmas as a magical time for children came about in the nineteenth century.
		If we had to choose the one outstanding symbol of Christmas, of course it must be the gaily decorated evergreen tree with a star at the very top.

	Soulful Christmas
		He takes a similar tack on "Merry Christmas Baby," "White Christmas," "This Christmas" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," although the latter is between slow and fast, splitting the difference with the slow-dancers on this nine-cut album.
		Christmas Card is the classic Temps/Motown sound, although they downtempo some of the tunes a bit too much, but their versions of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" are the most like their classic singles.
		Their original "Christmas With My Baby" is pretty good, but we could have done without one more reverent version of "The Christmas Song." The group mounted a comeback in 2001, unfortunately a little-noted one.

		Barbra Streisand has revived her career twice with Christmas albums, and certainly Whitney Houston was not capitalizing on being hot when she released One Wish: The Holiday Album in November.
		Christmas albums usually sell a small fraction of the artist's latest studio album — Ashanti's Christmas has sold only 37,000 copies, compared to 1.2 million of her Chapter II —; but the potential to strike gold is there.
		Doing a Christmas album was a way to test the waters without spending a lot of time and money writing and purchasing original songs.

	Boyz II Men : 20th Century Masters - The Christmas Collection - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Indeed, it is the most wonderful time of the year, and this reissue of 1993's Christmas Interpretations arrives under the Universal 20th Century Masters series, which has launched its own subset of holiday releases.
		However, within the smooth delivery lie lyrics that are melancholic and downtrodden, the kind of despair that is commonly associated with the holiday season but just not expressed so soulfully, most notably in the composition "Why Christmas," which reflects the existential angst of world issues during the holiday season.
		While most die-hard fans might already have this in their collections, fans who might have glanced over this release originally would be well-served to pick it up.

		The matching folio to the country legend's spiritual Christmas album includes new songs and standards such as Away in a Manger, Silent Night, and Joy to the World, plus biography and photos.

	MonkeyFilter \| The Christmas Music of my Childhood
		Only one man's interpretation of Christmas music has really made me merry this year.
		It's because most modern artists (the industry performers who "move units") who do interpretations of Christmas songs seem to have some desire to be "taken seriously" or "show respect" to the issue.
		I've noticed that as Christmas rolls around, I actually have a desire to hear a few Christmas songs (for some reason, I keep singing the lyrics to "Winter Wonderland" in my head).

	Ebony: Sounding off: the best in recorded music - recommended Christmas music sound recordings - Brief Article
		The title song, written by Mel Torme and introduced by Cole in 1996, is among the most popular Christmas songs of all time.
		Recorded when the famous siblings were children, the recording radiates with youthful enthusiasm as the brothers perform classics such as "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," "Santa Clause Is Comin' To Town," "The Christmas Song," "Frosty The Snowman" and other selections.
		Washington himself composed "The Love In His Infant Eyes," and listeners can envision snow-covered Christmas trees when he takes to his tenor sax on "Christmas Time Is Here." Throughout, Washington demonstrates he is indeed a master, and he is backed by a stellar group of musicians, including Billy Childs on piano and keyboards.

	MOSAEC Music Reviews-Boyz II Men (Christmas Interpretations)
		Christmas Interpretations has a nice, timeless quality, good production, and great vocals.
		That could be due to its structure: one traditional Christmas song ("Silent Night") and the rest are original compositions, mostly written by Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, Michael McCary, Nathan Morris, and McKnight.
		Six years later, and no longer in traction, I willingly listen to Christmas Interpretations.
