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.

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".

This is a great Christmas CD, and how could it not be with the Christmas songs that we know from our childhood sung by someone with such a beautiful voice. This is a must have Christmas CD for those who enjoy listening to Christmas songs around Christmas-time, or anytime really. I will warn you that this is a re-release of her White Christmas CDs released in 1998, and 1999. The one released in 1998 contained 10 songs, and the 1999 re-release added two more songs to that list. This CD, adds four more Christmas classics to the collection. I would have to say this is a great buy for anyone who enjoys Christmas Songs, or Martina McBride. Even if you have one of the earlier releases, I'd still reccommend purchasing this one. You won't regret it.

Martina McBride's "White Christmas" CD is purely amazing! It is the best holiday album EVER, by one of the greatest singers EVER! Here is how I rate each song...(5 stars=Best):

1)"Do You Hear What I Hear": Great!!! One of my favorites. (5 stars)

OVERALL RATING: 5.0 Stars (5 = BEST!!!)

All in all, Martina compiled a wonderful collection of Christmas songs!!! Rush out and buy it and it will definitely brighten your holiday season.

If Martina was not such a sweetheart, I would think she was a showoff on this CD. Her vocals absolutely soar on this collection of holiday standards. She sings with a lot of style, but remains traditional at the same time. My personal favorites are "O Holy Night" and "Do You Hear What I Hear". Martina softens up her voice for "White Christmas"; her version of "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow" is sassy without being trite; and "Silent Night" is simply stunning. I cannot wait to see these songs performed live next month.

In the sometimes overwhelming market of Christmas CDs by female country singers, make this one your first choice, you will not be disappointed!
