Customer Reviews

~ MAGICAL~
Ok, so I collect holiday CD's and have Many! THIS one is my all time favorite. The whole family loves it. We take it out Thanksgiving and play it non-stop through the holidays. It is hard to describe because of the different melodies, some serene, some lively. Did I mention that I love this cd?!

TRUE CHRISTMAS MEANING
There are no words to describe this CD. I have many, many holiday cd's (I collect them) and I always start off the season and end it w/ this one. The melodies are so tender and sweet and at the same time they are also vaguely reminiscent of days gone by, a gentler era and time. You can almost feel the stress melting away as you slip into holiday relaxation mode. Buy it for a true friend, they will thank you!

Quiet and Beautiful Music for the Season
This collection is one of the top three albums of my over 500 CD collection of holiday music. I find The Man from Ceasaria to bring a refreshing MidEast flavor to any celebration, and the Return of the Magi is especially moving. John Doan's version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is one of the perfect evocations of how the holiday feels as you're packing up the ornaments and reflecting on all that's happened in this season and seasons past.

This album is especially suited to sitting quietly by the fire or dozing off to sleep -- or anytime that the joy and hecticness of the season threatens to make you forget the real reasons behind it.
