5 stars How Can You Go Wrong?
How can you go wrong with the winning combination of Tom Jones's vocals covering your favorite Christmas songs? Not to mention getting to see him doing it live on his very own television show with some popular vocalists of that time period. Wonderful gift for the Tom Jones fan any day of the year, but especially nice to find underneath your Christmas tree. It will certainly put you into the spirit of the season!


5 stars Tom Jones Christmas is wonderful . .
Tom does his best, as always, with some lovely Christmas songs. His voice is truly amazing and so heartfelt. A lovely treat for us all!!


2 stars Honest, I really wanted to like this ...
... but unfortunately I didn't. I clearly recall the '60's and the '70's and I also remember far better Christmas shows than the two included on this disc. Both episodes, one from 1969 and one from 1970, contained too much "variety" to be considered Christmas shows and too much Christmas to be just regular episodes of Tom Jones variety show. While I certainly expected these programs to be dated I was totally shocked at how dated they really were. I've watched black and white episodes of Ed Sullivan and the Hollywood Palace as well as the color Sonny & Cher Christmas collection that were better representative of the period. The budget for these two shows must have been almost nonexistent as the sets were terrible and the "boat" shown during one of Ella Fitzgerald's songs was so cheap looking as to distract from my enjoyment of the song. I know there is better material out there both representative of the holiday season and of the talent of Tom Jones. Unless you are a dyed in the wool fan of Mr. Jones I really think you'd do better with other material. If you've just got to have this disc I would suggest purchasing as good used copy at the lowest possible price. Disc reproduction quality is in my estimate only good as there is some color bleeding and less than sharp picture. I really wanted to like this DVD as I collect holiday programming from the 1950's through the 1980's but I can't imagine ever putting this disc in my player again.


5 stars Absolutely superb!
I have waited more than 35 years for this! I could never forget Tom's breathtaking rendition of Scarlet Ribbons and his marvelous reading of A Child's Christmas in Wales (Richard Burton could not have done it better!)! It is a tremendous thrill to finally have it! There's never been a voice that touches his or that moves me so deeply. Check out the stunning version of Brother Can you spare a dime! and enjoy this Christmas treat! My only complaint is that there is not enough of Tom-how could there ever be?- and I could sure do without the Ace Trucking Company! I wish ALL Through the Night was on there with Tom singing, because I remember him doing that one with that great choir.BUt I am very happy! VERY!

5 stars Great blast from the past!
I just finished watching "This is Tom Jones Christmas" and it took me back to my youth! What fun. I like it that has two complete Christmas shows; one from 1969 and one from 1970. It's a great historical snapshot of 1969 and 1970's fashions and attitudes. But, above all of that, it showcases Tom Jones and his awsome talent. The man can sing! I especially loved his reading of "A Child's Christmas in Wales" and listening to the angelic voices of the Welsh Choir. The video quality is good with only a couple of ragged patches. I give it a whole-hearted five stars and will be purchasing this DVD as gifts for Christmas!
