Advantages: Some good versions of songs Disadvantages: Some dross
...I expected this album to contain the usual compilation of Christmassongs and especially those which sold enough to go platinum. How wrong I was. The sleeve contained many I hadn't heard of and it's not traditional by any means. This album from 2000 is worth borrowing but I don't think it's something to invest in.

Advantages: Reminds you of christmas as a child and helps recreate a family christmas atmosphere Disadvantages: Absoultely none
...I bough this CD a few years ago now for my daughter and must admit it is a really festive CD. The songs are all ones that you will recongnise and love and so will your children over the years.
To me Christmas is all about children and the songs odnthis CD bring that home to you. It's true christmas Carols and not these hyped up pop versions.
We play this every christmas now and it is one of the highlights for my daughter. She knows christmas is just aroung the corner when we start playing the CD and she even knows the words to some of the songs.

The following songs are on the CD which you will most definately recongise with a few of them some of your favourites I...
