I am a huge Elvis fan and was not disappointed by this! It is a wonderful CD for anyone who loves Elvis and Christmas together! I even bought one for my mother in-law who is another die hard Elvis fan. I can't wait for the next one!

Honestly, out of all the covers Christmas songs get, I've yet to find anyone as consistant and perfect for the job as miss Amy Grant. My family has kept her christmas CDs in heavy rotation all season long for years it seems, and they always sound fresh, they always bring the warmth and jolly of the time, and the reminder of the nativity.
I would recommend buying all her Christmas albums (i'm not sure how many there are) but if you'd rather hit the highlights then this one definately does the job. There's only a few tracks I would have liked to see make the cut, but for the most part these are the best. I love "count your blessings instead of sheep" i wish more people sang that song, it's brilliant.

So many vocalists tend to fulfill their recording contract obligations with bland or over the top holiday albums that end up in the recycling bin, but this cd is truly a gift of love from Mary Chapin Carpenter. You will find no rehashed versions of "Joy to the World", or "Little Drummer Boy", or no political bended songs which might be expected in a Chapin cd. What MCC delivers are wonderful interpretations of lesser known traditional songs and solid vocalizations of her own songs and contemporaries. The arrangements are light and Chapin"s vocals examine her rich alto. Jon Carrol's magnificent piano, John Jennings talented guitar stylings and other instruments, coupled with the Chapin vocals make this so much more than a Christmas album. This ... Read More:

This is seriously one of the best Christmas albums that I have heard in a while. It is more low tempo than much of the previous music by Casting Crowns, so I think it may even appeal to some people who are not fans of their other music. My mom grew up listening to music like Karen Carpenter, but she also thinks that this is a good album. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a decent Christmas album.
P.S., I was very pleased to see that this album includes another version of the song "While You Were Sleeping". I consider that one to be the best Casting Crowns song ever.

Have you noticed there are a lot of great new holiday albums out this year? Wow! This one - "A Lovely Way To Spend Christmas" by Kristin Chenoweth is my favorite, which is really saying a lot! Just listening to the previews I was hooked, and I've already listened to all the songs several times. What a beautiful bell quality Kristin's voice has . . . it makes you happy just listening to her songs! I wasn't that familiar with Kristin Chenoweth (I knew her only from "Wicked") before, but now I'm one of her new fans! I'm buying several to share with friends and family during the holidays. Thanks Kristin!!

NOTE: The Deluxe edition has a bonus DVD with a 24 minute "Making Of" special that is well worth the extra cost. At Target Stores, there is an additional/exclusive 20 minute segment on the DVD called "Live In Concert", that turns out to be a new performance with the Count Basie Orchestra and pianist Monty Alexander of several tunes from this album! (My Favorite Things, I'll Be Home For Christmas, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, O Christmas Tree, Winter Wonderland, and Silver Bells)
The Johnny Mandel/Alan & Marilyn Bergman song "All I Want For Christmas Is You" on this CD was first released in 2004 on the Barnes & Noble exclusive version of Tony's CD "THE ART OF ROMANCE" under it's original title "A Christmas Love Song" (it was also recorded ... Read More:

This video came highly recommended from a friend who is a new parent. It is absolutely fabulous - I am 7 months pregnant, so have yet to apply the (very simple) techniques learned in this video. One of my biggest fears is that I will not be able to calm my baby. It is amazing to see screaming babies in this video turn to relaxed and quiet in a matter of seconds (literally!). The video is giving me the confidence I need to be able to tackle being a new mom.

Every year, I look for a new Christmas CD to add to the collection. I play it along with the classics as soon as I start playing the seasonal music. "A New Thought for Christmas" is so listenable, I may be playing it more than the old favorites.
To be honest, you do have a mix of the old and new here. The CD opens up with solidly rocking "Blue Christmas" and also includes "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home"and "Merry Christmas, Baby." Melissa's covers of these songs are solid, rocking, and will definitely set your originals on their ears.
What else have we got?
"Glorious" talks about the traditions of Christmas, "windshields kissed with snow," etc. It's a lovely ballad extolling the virtues of love.

I picked this up after hearing the title song many times and attending a grand opening at a christian bookstore. I can't quit listening to it. It is SO worshipful and many of the songs make me want to get up and dance. Our youth group went crazy over tract 4!
