Advantages: great xmas album
Disadvantages: some songs "not as great" as others

...fast paced and fun version of this classic. Some great instrumentals in the middle with the boys showing off what they're really made of.

Silent Night Medley Absolutly beautiful - featuring a medley of O Holy Night, Silent Night and O Come All Ye Faithful - a really nice and original combination of these songs. 11. White Chistmas well it had to be the grand finalé didn't it?

All in all one of the best Christmas compilation albums by a music artist to have in your collection. eBay all the way for Snowed In!... Read review
