O Come All Ye Faithful Celtic Woman fans to a Christmas Celebration! What a wonderful collection of songs for the holiday season. The girls have out done themselves in Angelic voices and perfect harmony to bring together all that will send your memories into overdrive. Who doesn't remember a warm fireplace and the smell of spiced apples or cookies being whipped up on a cold winter day? All these memories will come up to the surface with festive tunes of Christmas as Carol of the Bells or Ding Dong Merrily on High. Nothing can compare to Meav singing Silent Night or Lisa Kelly's The Christmas Song. The beautiful vocal arrangement of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas will simply warm your soul. Of course, the girls have to show you that they can sing any style song with the swing arrangement of Let It Snow! David Downes' masterful arranging and Celtic Woman's beautiful voices combine to give something for everyone on this Yule tide CD whether your tastes are traditional Irish, festive, religious, or swing! Buy it now and start your season right.

This is a simple yet elegant cd by five of the worlds best singers. Each song has a touch of the Irish flavor. These are inspirational, beautiful, fun and unique rendentions of some our best loved standard Christmas songs and the Celtic Christmas song which I have never heard before are now among my favorites. I have been serenaded by Angles. I can just see Jesus smiling as these ladies sang to, for and about his daya of birth.

After viewing this performance on PBS I had to have this CD.
This is the absolute best choral Christmas Music ever. None of the new type - shouting, trilling or singing in a fashion where one cannot even make out what is being sung. This gets back to performing a song the way it was originally written and enjoyed. I recommend it to everyone.

This is without a doubt, one of the most talented group of women singers, that I have ever heard or seen. Each is a superb singer on her own, and together it's like listening to the angels singing. I think the arranger/ leader of the orchestra David Downs is to be commended for his arrangements and the bringing together of this group of singers

This Christmas CD is one of the best that I've heard in ages and it's been an absolute pleasre to listen to from start to finish. The DVD is just as fantastic, I hope there will be more to come.

This CD is one of the best Christmas CD's I have heard in a long time! Celtic Woman are at their best when performing together. Their harmonies, lyrics and musical tracks combined, sound like a choir of Angels!! What a beautiful way to celebrate the Christmas Season! If you like beautiful, Angelic harmomies, you can not go wrong with this CD! Happy listening!

If you love traditional music, as I do, this is a 'must buy'. These girls just can't do anything wrong.

I love Celtic Woman and this CD is another proof of their absolute talent!

Once these songs are embedded in your consciousness, you will almost frown or say grrr when you hear another artist do them, or attempt to do the songs. What comes to mind? Orla singing "Away in a Manger" has there ever been a more tender rendition? Chloe and Orla with Ray Fean and the Gregorian Chant motif what a powerful song "The Little Drummer Boy" is showing our humility as we should in the presence of our Lord and Savior. It is incredible to see and hear this song so adeptly presented on this DVD. Meave, regal, Goddess of heaven singing Silent Night and the Wexford Carol-is there a more ethereal polished parlor soprano now breathing? Her voice is being played wherever people need a cloud to lean on, hospitals, classrooms,in beautiful homes. I heard "Christmas Pipes" the other day while sitting in the Holdiay Inn Waiting Room which is not to demean it as muzak, but to rejoice because you can immediately see the CW group in your mind presenting this beautiful song...Lisa, Ah, Lisa singing " Green the Whole year Round" Christmas love should be all through the year-no one presents it more fully for our ounderstanding than Lisa Kelly.Stunning "O Holy Night" will swell your soul's chorus within--as well as NOEL and O COME ALL ye Faithful ! I have not had the pleasure of hearing the others,Alex, Lynn and Diedre, but I am told they also have beautiful voices. You have to trust David Downes here-the King of talent refinement! all of this Christmas Magic in one inexpensive purchase woven together by the Angel at the Top of the Tree Mairead Nesbitt! What are you people waiting for?
and Give THESE DVDs and CDs as Gifts...as I have done this year. C S

Beautiful; uplifting; pure delight. A very sweet collection, and one I will play every year.
