This is Kenny Chesney's first attempt at a Christmas album, and the end result is a unique blend of influences from the islands, as well as Kenny's memories of spending Christmas in East Tennessee.
The title track is a really fun song. It's light-hearted and really fits the overall theme of the CD. As hard as it is to imagine spending the holidays in the island, Chesney can take you there wih his voice and with the lyrics..."Instead of turkey we'll have mahi mahi grillin' and pina coladas in the blender chillen..."
The same can be said about "Angel At the Top of My Tree". I'm sure if it was released to radio it would be an instant holiday hit. It's energetic and upbeat...and very Kenny.
In my opinion, the standout song on the album is definitely "Just a Kid", c0-written by Skip Ewing and Kent Blazy. (For those unfamiliar, these are two of the top songwriters in Nashville) Chesney brings a lot of emotion to the song, although it is not overpowering. Rather, it flows with the lyrics, which tell the story of the birth of Jesus through a very unique perspective.
Kenny also does a great job with more the more traditional cuts such as "Silent Night" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem."
I also have to mention that I loved Alabama's version of "Christmas in Dixie" but Kenny's is even better. At the end of the song Chesney deviates from the lyrics to include, "And from Fort Payne, Alabama...and Knoxville, Tennesse...Merry Christmas tonight."
Overall, this is a great CD. I didn't think Kenny could tackle a Christmas album, but he proved me wrong. I've had this one in the CD player since I purchased it.

This is a fun album, and a relief for those of us who are tired of people (like other reviewers here) calling our locations "non-Christmas," or saying that "it's hard to imagine people celebrating Christmas on an island..." News, everyone: PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON ISLANDS DO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS, AND IT FEELS NORMAL TO US. Yes, I know I am shouting, but I am sick of this Christmas snow stereotype. Did it snow on the first CHristmas in Bethlehem?
Back to the album, it's light and fun and pleasant and gets me in a cheery holiday mood that's well suited to the nice weather we islanders enjoy at this time of year. "All I want for Christmas a real good tan" is just lots of fun. Most of us who celebrate Christmas in warm weather are pretty darn tired of all the Christmas songs that make it sound like snow is a necessity for keeping the holiday spirit alive. It isn't. Bravo, Kenny.

I was pleasantly surprised how good this Christmas CD is by Kenny. His voice comes out in these songs as the professional singer and performer he is, and I love the collaborations. I wish I had bought it sooner.

Tan for Xmas with Kenny
I would love to be on a holiday with Kenny at Xmas time and just lay around and tan with him. Don't like the Santa hat on him but the rest of him is hot, hot, hot!

Smooth
It was nice to listen to Kenny sing these songs. Some are traditional, some are not, which make you smile. I would love to hear him sing some of the 'rat pack' songs... Read more
