Simply one of the best Christmas albums ever recorded. All new material; not a rehash of the usual Christmas fare we hear ad nauseum. Mattea's incredible rendition of "Mary, Did You Know?" is as glorious a four minutes as any ever committed to tape! Highly recommended.

THIS CD HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS CD SINCE I BOUGHT IT YEARS AGO. SONGS ARE STIRRING; MOVING. I STILL CANNOT LISTEN TO "MARY DID YOU KNOW" WITHOUT TEARING UP! "NOTHING BUT A CHILD" WILL REMIND YOU OF THE POTENTIAL IN ALL CHILDREN. THE SONGS ARE SO DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CHRISTIAN CHRISTMAS SONGS THAT THEY TRULY WILL HELP YOU PUT "CHRIST" BACK IN YOUR CHRISTMAS!

This is my favorite Christmas and anytime CD. The album focuses on the best gift that anyone can receive, the gift of Jesus Christ. It is beautifully done and obviously a labor of love.

I did not know any of these songs before I heard it (rare for a Christmas album), but I loved them all on first listen, and love them still. This has become my all-time favorite album.

Kathy Mattea's album for the Christmas season is unlike any country Christmas record ever released. For starters, she and producer Brent Maher commissioned original songs rather than taking them from the canon, or adapted obscure songs from the ages. Secondly, the band was formed around what served each song to make it feel as organic as possible. Strange instruments appear, such as the marimbas on "New Kid in Town," recorders and a high string guitar and recorders on "Christ Child Lullaby" courtesy of Dougie MacLean and Jim Horn, and a full choir on the closing title track. This doesn't feel like any Christmas record you've ever heard before, either. It sounds like a ...
