This mid-80's release from one of the best female vocalists of our time is a charmer. It's been a family favorite since we got it several years after it came out.

The collection is actually over half original songs, but still manages to feel Christmassy right from the start. It opens with the fun "Worship the King" and after a medley of traditional carols, goes to the equally fun title song. The version of "O Holy Night" on this CD is one of my favorites anywhere, and ranks above her rendition on her second Christmas CD. The other highlight is "Bethlehem Morning," which focuses on the impact of Jesus' birth on us today and always. I have heard other people sing the song, but this is my favorite version.

If you're a fan of Sandi Patty's other 80's albums, you'll love this one because it's very similar musically to them. There are several songs that allow her to show off her amazing vocal range without overpowering the song or album as a whole.

This is one album I look forward to listening to every year at Christmas time.

Sandi Patty's voice is pure, lyrical--simply gorgeous--and this remains my favorite Christmas album. She is a stellar musician, and no one has surpassed her yet for sheer vocal quality and ability. The songs are beautiful. "Bethlehem Morning" is reminiscent of Barbra Streisand in style, but its message reaches beyond anything Streisand ever dreamt of.

This 1983 collection of Christmas songs includes new and old favorites. The title track, sung with a children's choir, is a charmer. "Bethlehem Morning" and "Merry Christmas, With Love" are also new gems for the season. This is a great album to have when trimming the Christmas tree! Yuletide Joy

I started off with the casette version of this record and progressed to LP, then CD and now MP3 for my iPhone. Till this day, I still play this record week before Christmas. The tracks The Gift Goes On and Merry Christmas With Love still has such meaning to me and reminds me of the true meaning of Christmas. Although the instrumentation can be dated it is still a thoroughly enjoyable Christmas record that I highly recommend to Amazon shoppers.

I grew up on this album. (I was born in '77.) My sister and I sang the song, "The Gift Goes On", in church. And "Bethlehem Morning" still gives me goosebumps and tears. This a very moving album from an amazing vocalist who was considered one of the greatest and most relevant vocalists of her time. Definitely a must-have album for people with young children or who enjoy more traditional inspirational music.

A friend gave this album to me in cassette way back when. I am so glad I was able to get it in CD. This is a wonderful album full of Christmasy (is that a word?) music. I love this one so much, I listen to it whenever I need a pick me up. I have the Christmas spirit year round, even as I sit in the car while stuck in traffic!

We had a cassette tape of this when our children were small and we practically wore it out! The music is very upbeat and not just the trditional Christmas fare. We were very glad to find it as a CD here. Thanks Amazon for coming through once again with great finds and wonderful customer service!

I loved this CD. Sandi's voice lifts you up and gets you in the Christmas spirit. The song "The Gift Goes On" is an excellent children's Christmas song and "Bethlehem Morning" which is my favorite, touches my heart and is very inspirational. This entire album is very upbeat and praises God. I highly recommend this CD.

Sandi Patti's voice is so like Christine Wyrtzen's. Sandi Patti has touched the hearts of millions who buy her wonderful albums and this great Christmas Album "The Gift Goes On" is no exception! I love the "Christmas Was Ment For Children" is a wonderful song full of love to reach a child and I really like it. God has given us all great gifts and he has turely made the "Gift That Goes On" everyday in Sandi's life. Buy this album today if you are looking for a good Christmas album. Sandi will be sure to "warm" your heart right away as you listen to her voice! I am sure I have convinced you at this point to but the album so WHAT are you waiting for!

This is a nice cd of Christmas songs that has a very strong Christian element. The non-traditional Christmas songs start out well but don't seem to go anywhere and just sound repetitious. The best part to me were the two medleys of traditional Christmas songs. Ms. Patti (Patty?)'s voice and technique always reminded me of other singers, they didn't sound unique. Unless you particularly want Christian songs, I cannot recommend this cd as more than nice. Onward with the quest to add new Christmas cds to the small collection of gems I've located over the years.
