This is a Christmas album that will make you feel like breaking out the hot chocolate and start on some serious holiday baking. Tillis has a voice like no other and she can draw you into the mood with very little effort.

Although I would not classify this album in the country genre, it scored very high with me because it is very simply incredible music. The jazzy interpretations of some classic songs make it a very unique and elegant album that stands out in the crowd. It is the absolute perfect CD to pop in for a romantic evening during the holiday season or as background music for quiet holiday get together. It will compliment any music collection.
