This 14-track album from the CCM hitmakers gives a shot in the arm to the moribund genre of Christmas music. The band have done two things with this album, the first being to take a load of well known and slightly lesser known Christmas songs and freshen them up by either changing their stylistic approach or re-writing some of the melodies. Secondly, they've added some of their own Yuletide songs. The band's version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" clearly stands out with its soft yet clear vocals and the inventiveness of its arrangement. Other songs such as "Wonderful Christmastime" follow this pattern of dynamic variation helping to contribute to what is one of the best Christmas albums around.
