I really don't care for holiday music, as a rule. This CD is a welcome break from the cheery jingles and overplayed standards one hears this time of year. Though she covers some Christmas standards, the arrangements are fresh. Of particular note is her bluesy-to-Middle Eastern fusion of "The First Noel/Mary Mary." As always, Ms. McLachlan's voice is lovely. The tone of the CD is pensive, comtemplative, laid-back, wistful...exactly what a fan of Ms. McLachlan would hope or expect to hear on her winter/holiday CD. She will expand her fan base with this release to include people who enjoy really good holiday music. If you enjoy Sarah McLachlan's music, or great holiday music in general, add this to your collection. You won't regret it.
First few songs play great, then the rest of tracks skip. It's not CD player, no other issues with CDs. I'm not sure what's wrong. I don't see any scratches or marks on CD. I will try cleaning and try it again. Otherwise love the CD, it's in better shape than my old one.

I LOVE this cd. I have to think that it is one of the mose beautiful Christmas cd's that I've heard in a very long time. I fell so in love with it that I gave it to several of my friends for a gift, so that they too could enjoy the beauty of this music. In my opinion, Sarah is one of the true artists of today. She puts on an awesome concert as well as great cd's. I will always have her music in my home. Thank you Sarah McLachlan for singing such beautiful music.
I was in need of music for the holidays, and this cd caught my eye. I am very pleased with it. We had family around of all ages, and everyone enjoyed it. A nice mix of songs and so easy to listen too. We'll surely be playing it for holidays to come, but I won't wait till then :)
This Christmas CD is one of the most beautiful of all the Christmas music I own and I have 50 Christmas CDs! Two of the best selections are "River" and "In the Bleak Mid-Winter," as well as "Wintersong." Sarah's voice has an incredible range and captures the essence of the holiday season in tranquility. I highly recommend this CD! expressit
