Search - Martha Stewart :: Living Music: The Holiday Collection Deluxe Box Set

Who but America's favorite East coast homemaker, media mogul and former jailbird could deliver a holiday box set appealing to main street with almost as many selections as there are varieties of Christmas trees?! Martha Stewart does everything big and even her shareholders would argue, tastefully. So when she got out of the big house recently, Stewart and her elves put together this three-disc set featuring 18 songs from the traditional pop world, a 16-track holiday jazz sampler spanning from the Chris Botti present to the Louie Armstrong past, and a classical set clocking in with 19 pieces from various orchestras, famous conductors, choirs, music boxes and Il Divo, the fab four of the Gucci-and-flip flop crowd. While the discs are sold individually (with a holiday recipe, of course), the big box comes with 30 such recipe cards, decorating tips and craft ideas. If you can't illuminate your tree, hang those stockings with Martha-appointed care or cook up a storm of deserts and a fat dinner to boot with these Christmas cliff notes, you probably will be off watching bowl games all holiday season anyway. One doesn't usually consider Mariah Carey and (again) Chris Botti "traditional," and many of you will have these jazz pieces by Tony Bennett and Peggy Lee and other trad pop stuff from, Bing, Bowie, Nat, Frank and others, but this is the collection that has it all. In one place. Organized. And in a nice box. Kind of homespun and elegant, the way MS always does it. -- Martin Keller
