Brilliant collection of Anne's Christmas music October 22, 2003
Peter Durward Harris (Leicester England)

Anne recorded two seasonal albums in the eighties - Christmas wishes in 1981 and Anne Murray Christmas in 1988. This compilation contains all the tracks from those two albums plus one extra track, The season will never grow old..Among the classic Christmas songs that everybody knows, I particularly like her version of Silver bells, but Anne is also in top form on Joy to the world, Little drummer boy, White Christmas, It came upon the midnight clear, I'll be home for Christmas, Do you hear what I hear, O holy night, Winter wonderland, Go tell it on the mountain, The Christmas song, O come all ye faithful, Away in a manger, We three kings, Mary's boy child and Silent night. Those classic songs are great and it's good to hear Anne sing them, but for me it is the less obvious songs that make this collection particularly special. Christmas wishes, my favorite song here, is an outstanding song that deserves to become a standard but seems destined not to be. Christmas in Killarney is an up-tempo Irish song that Anne clearly enjoys singing. No room at the inn is a traditional song that is rarely heard. Sweet little Jesus boy is a great song that will be familiar to Kenny Rogers fans as he recorded it twice. The season will never grow old is a cover of a Rita MacNeil song. Born in Bethlehem is also excellent. This is a magical Christmas collection that covers all aspects of Christmas. Most of these tracks have since appeared on the more recent double CD, What a wonderful Christmas, so you won't need both collections.

This is quite a long CD and not only features the typical Christmas fare, but also some gospel tunes. This is Christmas must have. Her voice is in top form. Overall excellent album.
Great traditional music December 21, 2000

This is one of my favorite Christmas CDs. Anne Murray is a great singer and sings each song in a traditional and pleasant manner (no weird renditions). And with 25 songs, it's one of the most complete CDs I've ever seen from an artist. I would recommend this CD to anyone who wants "normal" Christmas music sung as it was meant to be!
Anne does a great job October 8, 2000

I have this CD and just love it. It is very relaxing to listen to, and has a good variety of great songs. Anne sings the songs in her own unique way that makes them all special.
This will become a Christmas classic for you and your family November 14, 1999
Greg (Lakewood, Ohio)
Anne Murray has a wonderful way of warming your heart through song. Her classic rendition of Christmas carols will delight your family and friends and add special sentiment to the season. If you have ever purchased a Christmas CD only to go home and be disappointed with the artists "personal" version, you will be pleasantly surprised here. Anne Murray sings these carols as they were meant to be, as you remember them from days gone by - modest, warm and joyful. You will certainly enjoy these beautifully done songs.
