5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Album November 13, 2008
Format:Audio CD
I actually would like to rate this album 4.5 stars. It's not perfect, but its highs pull it towards 5 stars more than its lows pull it towards four stars.

I often think that artists tread upon dangerous ground when they alter the melodies of all-time favorite hymns and carols. Sometimes it works (see Fernando Ortega), often it doesn't. Sara Groves alters the melodies of several standard carols on this album, and I have to say, the results are fabulous. They are actually the strength of the album in my opinion. In particular I found "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" and "Angels We Have Heard on High" to be excellent renditions that I am excited to add to my Christmas music rotation.

In addition to the standard carols, there are also a handful of original songs. I don't have anything against original tunes on a Christmas album, but I often find them to be inferior to the standard carols (I have to admit, I'm a sucker for all the carol favorites). On this album I had a range of reactions to the various original tunes. Most of them I would put in the "actually pretty good" category, but one of them - "To Be With You" - is as beautiful and any Christmas carol out there. It will definitely be in the rotation for Christmases to come.

The reason why I would give it 4.5 stars instead of 5 stars is because there are, in my opinion, a couple clunkers on the album. Of course, music is all a matter of personal preference, so don't let this criticism keep you from checking out this album. Specifically, I found the original song "It's True" to be a bit treacly for me, and the song "Toy Packaging," while kind of quirky and fun, is also a little too, I don't know, quirky and fun for my tastes. But of course, that's just my tastes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Christmas music June 30, 2009
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This Christmas CD does have some well-known songs as well as some original songs, but beware if you like traditional tunes this may not be the CD for you. Sara came up with her own arrangements/music for traditional songs. They are good, but I was a bit disappointed because I am one of those weirdos who likes to have twenty different Christmas CDs all with the same songs, same tunes, just different voices.

5.0 out of 5 stars O Holy Night October 17, 2009
Format:Audio CD
I completely love this cd. I love Sara Grove's music, but wasn't sure I wanted this cd; just because I didn't think I needed another cd of the same Christmas songs. My husband gave this to me last Christmas. I downloaded it to my ipod and listened, on our way "home" to be with family. The songs settled a joy and peace in my spirit and attitude. This in turn got my focus on the true meaning of Christmas-God and the peace and hope He delivered through his son Jesus. Recently, I have been listening to the songs in a shuffle and they always lighten my burdens and give me strength for the day. Thanks Sara!!!! I've just ordered your new album!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The more you listen, the more you love! November 17, 2011
Format:MP3 Music
This is a Christmas album that has grown and grown on me. I got it the year it came out, and I can honestly say it is now one of my very favorites. My sister and I have talked about it and decided -- it's more like a Sara Groves album with a Christmas theme. Sometimes I get a hankering to listen to the songs in July -- for real! In a way, it's timeless because the story of Christmas is timeless.

The song "It's True" is beautiful. It makes me want to cry. She so captures the fantastic, magical idea of a baby coming to save creation -- but it's not magic -- "It's true". And I love her fun, light song "Toy Packaging" and "To Be with You" is such a heartfelt song about family. She's great. The album is great. I think I've bought at least three copies to give away as gifts. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to my Holiday Music collection! December 19, 2012
By jBee
Format:MP3 Music|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love Christmas music - every time I heard Sara Groves on my Pandora Holiday station, it got my attention so I had to check it out. I previewed each song before I purchased the album and it didn't sound like it was going to disappoint. I will have to say it is one of my new favorites. I love how the songs are unique but still familiar. Beautiful music!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful version from Sara December 13, 2012

Not overdone, not underdone, just right!
It's hard to remake a classic song we all know from Christmas after Christmas, but Sara has done a fine job with her version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saras christmas CD April 30, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I very much enjoy this CD. Eventhough many of the songs on this CD are overplayed and sung"Christmas Songs"(which I have come to really dislike because I've monotonously rehearsed since before I knew the true meaning of christmas and they were then simply-songs to sing) I find that Sara is able to put a different spin on the songs by changing up the melody a bit which then enhances the lyrics and meaning for me. My VERY FAVORITE part of this CD is when Sara's son recites the gospel story stating "how could somethig so wonderful be true, and, but is anything too wonderful for GOD?" His voice truly accentuates the greatness of God's love in sending His son into the world to save us sinners. What a precious recording to have of your young son!
