Rating:
Release Date: 1994-11-01
Media: Audio CD

Tracks: 1: Silent Night 2: All I Want for Christmas Is You 3: O Holy Night 4: Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) 5: Miss You Most (At Christmas Time) 6: Joy to the World 7: Jesus Born on This Day 8: Santa Claus Is Coming to Town 9: Hark! The Herald Angels Sing/Gloria (In Excelsis Deo) 10: Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child

Nice mix of original and traditional songs


Mariah proves here that she can sing upbeat sons such as her big hit (All I want for Christmas is you) and her cover of the Phil Spector classic first recorded by Darlene Love (Christmas (baby please come home)), but she is equally capable with the slower songs such as her other two originals (Miss you most at Christmas time, Jesus born on this day). With three original songs, one of which became an international hit for Mariah, together with a cover of a Phil Spector classic, one cover of a very obscure traditional song (Jesus oh what a wonderful child), which I don't remember hearing before, and six tracks featuring covers of famous traditional songs, this album has something for everybody.

Of the six tracks that are devoted to famous traditional songs, one is a two-song medley (Hark the heral angels sing, Gloria in Excelcis Deo) which, together with the other five (Silent night, O holy night, Joy to the world, Santa Claus is coming to town, God rest ye merry gentlemen) offer enough familiarity to make this a good album to play as background music. Mariah sounds good on these songs although among them, I think she sounds best on the medley and Santa Claus is coming to town. Personally, I like to hear her on the obscure stuff best, but it takes a brave singer to avoid the standards altogether when recording a Christmas album.

This is an excellent Christmas album that will give pleasure to many people, not just those who are fans of Mariah's other music.

Mariah Carey - Merry Christmas


Honestly I bought it back when it was released but truly only listened to my favorite track, O HOLY NIGHT over & over. I hadn't listened to this album in entirety for a long time but found a lot of comfort in listening to it during this past holiday season and have been listening to certain tracks off and on since. This is a well-balanced album that mixes standard holiday songs with Mariah's own heartfelt tracks which makes it an interesting album overall to listen to.

SILENT NIGHT - I love the vocal arrangement of the background singers, Melonie Daniels, Shanrae Price & Kelly Price

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU - instant modern classic with a do-wop arrangement

MISS YOU MOST (AT CHRISTMAS TIME) - although I love this track, I can't listen to it too often as it brings me to tears

JOY TO THE WORLD - love her rollicking rendition of this traditional song

JESUS BORN ON THIS DAY - Mariah sounds great & the addition of the childrens' choir makes this song special

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN - another toe-tapping rollicking arrangement kicks up the "fun factor" of this song

HARK! THE HERALD ANGEL SINGS/GLORIA - the arrangement is terrific

JESUS, OH WHAT A WONDERFUL CHILD - takes me to church everytime I hear it

It's one of the best holiday albums I have in my collection and definitely one of my favorite Mariah albums.


Mariah Carey's Christmas is the essentail Christmas album!
This album is great and stands the test of time. Anyone that likes holiday and Christmas cheer music should add this essential piece to thier collection. Each year when I pop it in it sounds just as good as when it was first released. No one can carry a high pitched tune like the incomparable Mariah Carey. Add this to your collection today! All I want for Chritsmas and Holy Night are priceless gems.
