"This is my very most favorite Christmas CD in the world. It is a wonderful assortment of intelligent Tex/Mex and multiculteral folk Christmas music. Also, it was important to me that Christ was not left out of this Christmas work. One song is a jewish tune, another is a Samba, and a couple of songs are tastefully sung in Spanish. My favorite song is "Arbolito", which is sung in spanish and then re-sung a few cuts later in English. The guitar has a rich sound, and the lyrics are upbeat and clip along at a merry pace. It ends with a sweet "ding" (bell). Nanita Nana is my 2nd favorite. The words aren't given in the jacket, but can be found on her website. (I'm sorry, I don't know it off the top of my head). I am 50 years old and as an ex-hippie, my music taste spans from hard-rock to folk to blue-grass to blues to disco to British Blues to alternative/Christian alternative. And I am real picky about the money I plunk down for a CD .. and this CD is really under-played in the marketplace."
