YULE'S GOLD

Less intimidating is It's a Beautiful Christmas, another Rhino repackage. This one's a virtual duplicate of those collections sold for $2.98 at tire stores circa 1965. You'll want to be sitting by the hearth while turning your ear to Dean Martin's "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (who he refers to as "Rudy, the Red-Beaked Reindeer") and Wayne Newton's "Silent Night, Holy Night," which bears a shocking resemblance to something crooned by Mary Hart.

That's entertainment, holiday style.
