"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."

Brilliant collection of Anne's Christmas music

"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."
