"This has been the favorite Christmas music for our family for over 30 years. Any houseguest who has heard it has demanded to know WHO was playing that beautiful guitar music, and then wanted to know where to buy the record/CD. I cannot begin to count how many copies I have bought through the years for myself or to give as gifts. My now adult children are introducing it to all their friends, so the tradition continues. It just wouldn't be Christmas for us without this beautiful music! Simply a treasure ~"

"I had this album years ago on tape and somehow I lost it (or loaned it). I really missed it and one day when I was browsing Amazon.com music section there it was, what a great service Amazon provides. Three days later I am listening to it on my home stereo, amazing! Any way this is a great Christmas Album, great background music when you have guests over for the holidays, intellectual but not dominating. Instramental."
Clean, powerful, timeless

"It's hard to underestimate the power of this collection of Fahey's interpretations of Christmas classics along with his own original compositions. Like all great record albums, it has the ability to draw the listener into its own world. No vocals, just the pure tones of the melodies themselves, played with clarity and genuine affection. With so many boring, ho-hum, "me-too" Christmas albums cluttering the scene, this collection is sure to please those who appreciate Christmas classics done in a refreshingly original style, as well as the lover of acoustic guitar music. I first purchased this as a "platter" many years ago and am pleased to have it on CD. It's a "must-play" every Christmastime and I absolutely cannot get in the Christmas spirit without it. HIGHLY recommended!"
