Product Description"The Christmas We Hoped For" is an instant holiday classic - an eclectic collection of traditional hymns, conteporary favorites like White Christmas, and modern Christmas songs like The Weepies' All That I Want. The album began as a side project intended to get Vanessa back into the studio after a nearly 3-year hiatus, and it turned into an all-consuming affair that had Vanessa in the studio throughout the hottest Texas summer in 30 years. As Peters told the story, 'There's nothing quite like singing White Christmas while the temperature outside is 110 degrees.' Produced by Rip Rowan and featuring Grammy-winning guitarist / producer Joe Reyes, the album offers a fresh take on Christmas classics that remains true to the spirit of the original songs.
