Editorial Reviews

It's difficult to conceive of a less imaginative project; song selection, arrangements, even album title all emanate from the stock Yuletide script. Then again, Christmas isn't about innovation, is it? It's about smiles and curling up by the fire and listening to the same songs over and over. For those purposes, McBride's holiday offering will suit you just dandy. Her lovely voice is capable of enormous power and delicate nuance. Dennis Burnside's arrangements don't match up in most cases, although the perky, harp-filled "Let It Snow" and the dark-toned "Away in a Manger" and "What Child Is This" are more attractive than the others. Still, even McBride's substantial pipes can't rescue this record from the doldrums; it overtly distances itself from the whole of her country-music roots. --Marc Greilsamer

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Christmas Standards, December 5, 2004

Are you looking for that ideal Christmas album to bring joy to your world?

Are you tired of listening to singers (who should know better) butchering your favorites?

Does the latest boy band/pop diva/rapper/aging rocker/American Idol commercial album make your yuletide dark?

Now you can have yourself a merry little Christmas with an honest to goodness, warm and scrunchy, feel good, chicken soup for the season album from the cute 'n cuddly Ms. McBride, who puts the country back in Christmas.

An ideal album for trimming the tree, stuffing your goose, wrapping your presents, addressing the Christmas cards, shopping on Amazon, decking the halls, or roasting the chestnuts on an open fire. In fact it goes with everything, unless you want a silent night.

You can close your eyes and buy this one - it completely captures the Christmas spirit and then releases it back to you with love.

Martina McBride released this CD several years ago. At the time I bought her CD and could not stop listening to it during Christmas.
Now they have packaged it with 4 new songs. Jingle Bells and Winter Wonderland are my favorite new songs on the CD. Silver Bells is my favorits song on the entire CD.
If you are a Martina McBride fan or if you just like Christmas music, this is for you.
Martina could possibly have the best voice in Nashville, and now she sings our favorite carols as well..............You have to buy this one

5.0 out of 5 stars Straightforward beautiful Christmas Music..., December 18, 1999

This review is from: White Christmas (Audio CD)

This was my first Martina McBride CD and I have to say I was much more than pleasantly suprised. A lot of the newer Christmas albums have so many "extras" that they no longer sound like the wonderful yuletide tunes we remember from childhood. Not so with Martina's beautifully done CD (excellent voice!). I heard a cut of "Holy Night" on a local radio station and it brought tears to my eyes! The rest of the album is equally wonderful. This is THE ONE to get you in that "Holiday Spirit".
