Reviews Customer Reviews for Home For The Holidays      Home For The Holidays      Rating:      As another reviewer points out this is another repackage of Elvis' Christmas Album '70. So, if you already have the songs there's no point in buying this. Unless you, like I, were struck by the beautiful cover of the decorative collectors tin and are interested in the other collector goodies inside. A decorative holiday themed Elvis door hanger, A hand carved, guitar shaped candle replica of the one he used in the '68 special, and 5 very nice photo cards. Of course, it also contains the cd "It's Christmas Time." I bought twoo of these. One for myself and one to give as a Christmas gift to a big Elvis fan. If you have a big Elvis fan on your Christmas gift list who doesn't already have the music or would be interested in the other goodies, I highly recommend this item.     Customer Reviews for Home For The Holidays Cd      Yet another repackaging of his 1970 Christmas album      Rating:      This is yet another re-packaging of the 1970 edition of Elvis' Christmas album. His original Christmas album was released in 1957 and included 8 Christmas songs plus 4 Gospel songs from the Peace in the Valley EP. The album was re-packaged and re-released in 1970 with the 4 Gospel songs being replaced by Why Can't Everyday Be Like Christmas (which was originally released as a single in 1966) and the non-Christmas song Mama Liked the Roses. The songs on here are excellent and have become Christmas standards, still receiving radio air play around the Holidays. This is a nice collection if you do not already have one of the previous releases, however I think you can find the over releases for cheaper. I would recommend that you get the "If Everyday Was Like Christmas" CD instead. It includes every Christmas song Elvis recorded plus 4 alternate takes. The 1970 edition of Elvis' Christmas album was Elvis' biggest selling album, with sales in the US in exceeding 9 million copies, just shy of the 10 million required for Elvis' first DIAMOND award. It makes no sense to me why BMG/RCA decide to discountinue selling the 1970 edition, but instead sell it as a re-packed "new" album when they were so close to the 10 million sales milestone!!!
