5.0 out of 5 stars Forget the rest, this truly is the best....., 25 Jan 2004

By A Customer

I've owned this album for nearly 8 years and every Christmas it gives me immense pleasure to listen to it. Creating more and more memories as time passes. There are no tacky 'wedding disco' type tracks only unusual, if not classic yuletide tunes. Everyone who hears me playing this, begs to know more. Amazon are diamonds in coming up with the goods at last. A real gem of a CD, previously very hard to get hold of.

Thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly the best alternative Christmas album, 9 Dec 2007

By	A. I. McCulloch (Co Durham) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was thrilled to buy this CD from Amazon a few years ago, having worn out my copy on cassette. There are well-known standards (Kirsty and The Pogues' 'Fairytale') here mixed with lesser known gems, but everything is well worth the listen. Stina Nordenstam's ethereal voice is totally suited to Christmas songs, whilst Tom Waits' bass growl is perfect for his tale of a jailed hooker. Everyone who has heard this CD has said "Wow, that's great. Where did you track that down?"

5.0 out of 5 stars Favourite alternative Christmas album, 4 Dec 2008

By	J. PORTER - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Okay so some of the choices are a little odd, but this is by far the most interesting Christmas album I've heard. A much more interesting, ironic take on Christmas.

The album was a good mix of Christmas music that was used in an informal way, for when friends visited. It sounded ideal for its use.
