artists doing Christmas albums and I generally hate them, but I just couldn't say no to this one.With Sarah's voice adding new nuances and a breath of fresh air to these familiar tunes, this album is more than worth the price of admission.Her voice is as silky, smooth, and stunning on this album as it always has been.Christmas carols such as Deck the Halls or Joy to the World are to be found here.All of the songs have a sort of longing and melancholy to them that Sarah is known for.The melodies of the songs chosen also reflect this sort of sad quality that fits Sarah's voice so well.The production by her longtime producer Pierre Marchand is a bit experimental, heavy, and very reminiscent of Sarah's original material, so it still feels very "Sarah".Christmas spirit way earlier than usual.I'll definitely be playing this album while drinking some hot cocoa on Christmas Eve.Was this review helpful to you?Your vote will be counted and will appear on the product page within 24

classics, though thankfully not Jingle Bells.Sarah makes songs you have heard a thousand times fresh and emotional.Where this record really shines is the beautiful covers of Joni Mitchell's River, and Gordon Lightfoot's Song for a Winter's Night(which I loved on B Sides and Rarities).The original track Wintersong is a perfect addition to the album.Little Town of Bethlehem is elegantly simple, just some strings and guitar and Sarah.The only weak note is the Happy Xmas(war is over), which tries too hard to be the original.This is an album that I can play every morning at work and never get tired of.Sarah McLachlan's voice has never sounded as dreamy as on this compilation, infused with delicate winter melodies of comforting warmth."River" is filled with romantic longing and desires for simpler times...""In a Bleak Mid Winter" has acoustic elements and lyrics setting a modern yet romantic mood.The final track is breathless and compliments all the elements of this album as the mood is set for listening to this again and again.The entire album makes you want to get out some eggnog cookies and apple cider and read a cozy novel or write Christmas cards.Was this review helpful to
