I saw Sawyer Brown's Christmas Show a week ago. After the concert, I've searched in the record stores for this release and didn't find it. I'm glad Amazon has it available because I can't wait to hear Sawyer Brown's Christmas music again. The CD covers what Christmas is about. Both secular and non-secular traditions. This CD is not just for Christmas. The title song is uplifting to listen too all year long.

I saw Sawyer Brown last year at Christmas in concert, and I knew I had to have this cd. I was so moved by the beautiful original songs and the new versions of the classics.Even the people at the concert who thought they'd be hearing only traditional Sawyer Brown music were mesmerized by the beautiful songs. They got a very long standing ovation at the end. I've already started listening to it this year and will probably have it wore out by Christmas!

I sought this album out after seeing the "Hallelujah He Is Born" video on TV--and am I glad I did! A wonderful country/rock album that's also a rare, unabashed celebration of a Christianity--distinctly not a secular album. Also, not a tired rehash of the same songs everyone has recorded. True, there are a few standards, but also new songs that range from rousing musical celebrations to reverential ballads. An absolute gem has been added to the Christmas musical lexicon. A MUST HAVE! Thank you, Sawyer Brown--and Merry Christmas!

If you have a Love for the REASON FOR THE SEASON, then you will Love ALL these songs!! They are some of the most meaningful Christian Christmas songs! Catchy tunes you can sing along too.
This will definitely be one of your favorite Christmas CD's you can't wait to play each season.

After seeing the video for "Hallelujah, He Is Born," I searched High and Low for this CD. And it was worth the search! This is an excellent CD, filled with original songs that celebrate Christmas. The three Christmas staples are also wondefully done. If you are looking for the real meaning of Christmas, look no further than this CD. :)

Just how it should be done, a disc that is born with eight new songs brouhgt to life."Wisdom is knowing what to seek" and the those songs with other's words shine with new light.The mix invokes meaning and is truly beautiful in resting times.***** buy it and give it

This album is great. Especially like the title song!

I stumbled across this cd purely by accident, but it has become one of my absolute favorite Christmas cds. We have listened to it over and over this season and the songs just become a part of you. The words are beautiful, moving and meaningful. Every song is enjoyable to listen to. What great harmony they have!

This album is not only a christmas album,its great for all year round.the songs are excellent.THE BEST CUTS ARE THE FOLLOWING.1.THE TITLE CUT2.ITS CHRISTMAS3.WHERE DOES CHRISTMAS GO..I RECOMMEND FOR A POP FAN OR COUNTRY FAN.

Sawyer Brown built their reputation on generally upbeat, lightweight music that I always enjoyed, although many critics didn't. The serious songs were always there, and they mostly fill this album. Only the title track (a celebration of the birth of Jesus) fits the lightweight, fun image that characterizes their other albums.

The remaining songs suggest that Mark is a deeply religious person as all the songs have a religious or spiritual significance. Most songs were written by Mark, but there are three oldies (Angels we have heard on high, Little drummer boy and O little town of Bethlehem. Eight new songs make this one of the more interesting albums for Christmas music fans like me.

Despite not being what you expect of Sawyer Brown, this is a fascinating album. Perhaps they will (one day) do another, different Christmas album full of Santa, snow, reindeer and the like. I hope so.
