Summary:
I listened to most, if not all these tracks, two weeks ago on the compilation album Ultimate Christmas (2017). Changes in song ratings can be found at the end of this post. In short, most songs went up in ratings (though I just compared based on song titles; the versions may differ). As such, I think it's appropriate to give this album a 4.2.

Overall Rating: 4.2/5
Favorite Song: "Jingle Bells"
