5.0 out of 5 stars The best Christmas CD I've heard in years!!!!, October 26, 2005

By	JoJo (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I have many Christmas Cds...ranging from Perry Como to Destiny's Child to the Carpenters to Babyface and everything in between...and this one ranks as one of the BEST. There is nothing CHEESY about this album...it's totally sincere. And best of all, it's completely eclectic. If Faith keeps on releasing music like this, she'll be a relevant recording artist for the rest of her life. Case in point: "Happy Holiday" and especially "Christmas Wish" are PURE CLASSIC FAITH, like the stuff you'd hear on her first album. She gives us James Brown-ish soul (not unlike "Mesmerized" from "The First Lady") on "Soulful Christmas" and "Merry Christmas Baby," she gives us a gospel rendition of "OCome All Ye Faithfu" and is coquettish on "Santa Baby." But she TRULY SHINES on "Mistletoe and Holly," which is a timeless, timeless production...it could have been recorded in the 1940s...it's just beautiful. As is her treatment of "White Christmas," "The Christmas Song" and her flawless rendition of a sometimes cheesy song, "This Christmas." However...THE TRULY SHINING MOMENT on this CD is "THE DAY THAT LOVE BEGAN." This album is worth it for that song alone. So much emotion, joy and love shine through on that song...plus the story of a shephard boy is touching as well. Thank you FAITH for putting FAITH into modern Christmas music, and for really shining on your first of hopefully many more Christmas albums...And how great would it be to hear her sing "O Holy Night" and some of the other standards!

5.0 out of 5 stars SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!, October 26, 2005

By	A. Alicea (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is one of the BEST Christmas albums I've ever heard! Faith did a great job on this project...her vocals are simply BEAUTIFUL on every song!!! This album has a beautiful and blend of Soul, Jazz, Blues and R&B...Faith adds a touch of warmth and class to Holiday classics like "Christmas Song", "White Christmas" & "O Come All Ye Faithful". She also gives us her rendition of other Holiday oldies like "Soulful Christmas", "Mistletoe & Holly" and my personal favorite, "The Day That Love Began". I LOVE this album!!! If you want a great Christmas album to listen to while sipping eggnog by the fireplace, you MUST get "A Faithful Christmas"!!! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars An R&B Christmas Classic, December 15, 2005

By	Eric Smith (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've always been a Faith Evans fan and was thrilled that she released a Christmas album. I'm glad she had a mix of newer songs and older carols. Her voice is in top form and the material on here is great! The styles range from traditional to jazz to r&b to old-school soul. My favorites have to be "O Come All Ye Faithful', "Christmas Song" and "Soulful Christmas." Replying to your Christmas greeting at the end of the record... Merry Christmas to you, too Faith!
