I received this CD as a gift a few years ago. Unfortunately, it sat unopened for waaaaay to long. To my delight, when I did listen to it , I was wonderfully surprised. This is a CD to listen to when you are harried and headed for burn-out. It unwinds me, it clears my mind, and I can think about whatever I want to think about. It is a quiet, gentle, peacefull presentation of songs that you don't mind hearing, when they are presented in this style. I enjoy this CD long after Christmas. I don't listen to any other Christmas music beyond the Holiday, save this album and a really great recording of the Nutcracker Suite.
