This has to be one of the best Christmas cd's put out this year. Singing with the big band sound simply works and Leann Rimes voice in superb hitting all those winderful soft and high notes. Simply amazing with delight and wonderful joy listening to this Christmas cd. Best version ever of What A Wonderful World! A must have to add to anyone's Christmas cd collection. Enjoy and Have A Safe and Wonderful Holiday Season.

LeAnn has recorded music in various styles (pop, country and gospel) during her career but this Christmas album is mainly a pop collection. The only religious song here is O holy night (a superb rendition that closes the album) while the only country offering is A different kind of Christmas (a very sad song, this is one of three original songs that LeAnn co-wrote for the album). Two tracks (Rocking around the Christmas tree, All I want from Christmas is you) feature a big band arrangement with saxophones, trumpets and trombones. The remaining songs generally feature string arrangements. LeAnn is in fine voice throughout.

Of the songs, the three originals (A different kind of Christmas, Just love me, Miss you like Christmas) are all worth hearing, while I was particularly pleased at the inclusion of Santa baby (an Eartha Kitt original) - I haven't heard many versions of this song although Kylie Minogue and Madonna have both recorded it. The title track isn't really a Christmas song but fits in well and LeAnn makes a great job of it.

This is a great Christmas album that everybody can enjoy. Well, from the other reviews, it seems not quite everybody, but I enjoy it and I am happy to recommend it to you. NOTE - although Santa baby is on my British version of the album, it is apparently not included on the American version.

After watching Biography on LeAnn, I bought a few CD's for my wife. This one must have played a thousand times! She has a wonderful original style and amazing voice in general. It has a country feel, and although I rarely listen to country music, I / we really enjoy this CD.

WOW sums up this album. The songs are inspired and the singing is as sweet as Rimes has ever been. The Song "A Different Kind of Christmas" is absolutely the most moving Christmas song that I have heard in years. It is beautiful, artful, and the lyrics are from the heart. This is an album that is destined for great things.

WOW, This album is so good.....It really puts you in a world of nothing' but pure Christmas time. The live band on this ablum is super and I say this is most defenitly LeAnn at her best. The artwork and songs are fantastic..I can't put it away and quit listening..its that good! :-) If your wanting a real Christmas feeling then this cd is for you. My favorite tracks are ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS, SANTA BABY, A DIFFERENT KIND OF CHRISTMAS, JUST LOVE ME, and MISS YOU LIKE CHRISTMAS. LeAnn sure does deserve a round of applause and 2 thumbs up for this album..YOU GO LE!! :-)
