For those of you who have been faithfully collecting the Nettwerk Christmas compilations (Christmas Songs, Maybe This Christmas, Maybe This Christmas Too, Maybe This Christmas Tree), you already have most, if not all, of these songs. That doesn't change the fact that it is an excellent Best of, it's just a shame it isn't otherwise noted as such. These are still some great alternatives to the holiday music you get inundated with every time you leave your house from November through mid-January, and if you don't already own the original compilations, this is a great place to start.

I ordered this cd based on what I heard on Itunes, and for some reason many of the best tracks included there are not actually on this cd. I was very disappointed by the lack of tracks: it really detracted from the overall album. Songs like The Weepies' "All That I Want" would have made the album a little more heartfelt and fun. The cd is not without its merits though: Dido's track is beautiful, and the Barenaked Ladies are always entertaining .

The music is good, but I guess I'm confused by this collection. Even the "big" CD choice of the 2 Winter's nights CD's here don't have everything on the iTunes selection, which is annoying. But, what you hear is great and a nice variety. "God Rest Ye...." is probably my favorite track and the reason I bought the album.

I really enjoy listening to this album. Its a nice change from the traditional Christms music (eg. Bing Crosby), with a good selection of artists. The BNL and Sarah McLachlan song is excellent, but so is most of the album.
The iTunes version has 19 songs - not sure why the difference.

Buy this and the new Diana Krall christmas CD.

I love this album and have listened to it over the past few years. I had to reorder when it wore out on my favorite song "Rudy". I would recommend it to anyone that likes some old and some "new" songs for the holiday season.

LOVE this CD. This is telling Christmas in many different ways from the poignant to the joyous.I initially bought the CD for the 'Sixpence None the Richer' version of 'It Came upon a Midnight Clear', and so glad that I did, as I love this song and all the Christmas songs on this CD

This was a good addition to my Christmas collection and I have listened to it many times in the short time I have had it. There are some more cheerful songs but I would say overall it seem to me to be more of an emo Christmas collection. There are several songs that speak to unhappy or emotional experiences at this time of year. If you like unconventional Christmas music you should enjoy this album.

I am a big fan of track 14, _Rudy_, beautifully sung by the Be Good Tonyas. The song was written by Danny Dolinger whose music & performance is also well-worth checking out. He does great guitar work and writes songs with a social conscience - the kind of stuff I need to hear these days.
