Christmas Packages

That's not the case with Yuletide Soiree (Rhino): The two-disc set includes Bobby Helms's "Jingle Bell Rock," the Ventures' "Sleigh Ride" and a bundle of other rock-and-roll Christmas favorites, as well as Spike Jones's "All I Want for Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth)" and "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch," from the How the Grinch Stole Christmas soundtrack. But the music seems secondary to the concept--a "party pack" that tosses recipes, shopping lists and song lyrics provided for sing-alongs into a specially designed three-ring binder that jacks up Soiree's price and increases Rhino's profit margin. That's what Christmas is all about.
