One of the more impressive things about A Christmas Celebration is its glowing immediacy. The record's rich vocals and colorful instrumentals create a concert-like setting, reprising the season's most loved hymns, carols, and pop standards, along with a Gaelic version of "That Night in Bethlehem." Unexpected numbers such as "Christmas Pipes" and "Carol of the Bells" (here led by the spirited fiddling of Mariread Nesbitt) only enhance an already engaging disc that finely weaves between the piety of classical music and the playfulness of pop. Chloe Agnew, Orla Fallon, Lisa Kelly, and Meav Ni Mhaolchatha combine their Celtic voices against orchestral arrangements and sparser settings--spiked with the traditional Irish fare of uilleann pipes, harp, and ancient choral harmony--to deliver an assortment of reverent but lively arrangements that wouldn't be out of place at a church, concert hall, or good Irish celli. --Martin Keller

5.0 out of 5 stars Let it Snow!!!!, October 7, 2006

By	Donnis Kelly - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

O Come All Ye Faithful Celtic Woman fans to a Christmas Celebration! What a wonderful collection of songs for the holiday season. The girls have out done themselves in Angelic voices and perfect harmony to bring together all that will send your memories into overdrive. Who doesn't remember a warm fireplace and the smell of spiced apples or cookies being whipped up on a cold winter day? All these memories will come up to the surface with festive tunes of Christmas as Carol of the Bells or Ding Dong Merrily on High. Nothing can compare to Meav singing Silent Night or Lisa Kelly's The Christmas Song. The beautiful vocal arrangement of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas will simply warm your soul. Of course, the girls have to show you that they can sing any style song with the swing arrangement of Let It Snow! David Downes' masterful arranging and Celtic Woman's beautiful voices combine to give something for everyone on this Yule tide CD whether your tastes are traditional Irish, festive, religious, or swing! Buy it now and start your season right.

5.0 out of 5 stars Celtic Woman Christmas, October 20, 2006

By	Elizabeth Mizell "Celtic/Irish music fan" (Bay, AR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a simple yet elegant cd by five of the worlds best singers. Each song has a touch of the Irish flavor. These are inspirational, beautiful, fun and unique rendentions of some our best loved standard Christmas songs and the Celtic Christmas song which I have never heard before are now among my favorites. I have been serenaded by Angles. I can just see Jesus smiling as these ladies sang to, for and about his daya of birth.
