5.0 out of 5 stars I bought this in January ..., January 23, 2010

... and watched it in the heat of a New Zealand summer. It was that much of a treat to find it. And I'll be watching it again before December, and it'll be a Christmas staple from now on, just like home-made Christmas mince tarts.

Some of the guest spots will take you by surprise a little! But you'll feel like you're part of the McGarrigle/Wainwright family, and really, how could you not love that?

Track listing: 1. Old Waits Carol - Family 2. Good King Wenceslas - Family 3. Big Bright Beautiful Tree - Sloan Wainwright 4. Christmas Spells - Justin Bond 5. Some Children See Him - Rufus Wainwright 6. Cherry Tree Carol - Family 7. What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? - Rufus Wainwright 8. Trois Anges Sont Venus Ce Soir - Martha Wainwright 9.

**Update** And here it is 11 December 2011 and I'm watching it again. Kate McGarrigle's no longer with us. And it's just heart-warming to watch, and gets me grinning at the screen. Merry Christmas everyone!

If you like the McGarrigles, this will demonstrate that their talent isn't limited to the two of them. Martha, Rufus, and Sloan Wainwright (and their substantial number of very talented friends) help to blow the roof off the Knitting Factory. I'm not sure I've witnessed so much talent on one stage. A truly impressive and fun performance.
