Good standard Christmas music December 13, 2012
By Debbie K. (Greenville, SC) See All My Reviews
"This is the kind of album you can play for your Christmas party or in the background while trimming the tree. Most of the music will be familiar to most people. Overall, the singing is good, although sometimes a bit prosaic, and occasionally lacking a sense of line. Still well worth purchasing."
