content: Be glad you cannot order this in time for Christmas delivery. By next year, you should be able to fish this collection out of the bargain bin at Sam Goody's. I heard the lead track, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" on the radio, and thought it awesome. It opens with a gentle rockabilly feel from the Barnaked Ladies, then Sarah McLachlan jumps in to finish the song (ironically, this track is from 1996 before both artists became well-known). It is a great holiday song. The rest of the compilation ranges from decent to "What the hell is this?" It is one thing to stumble upon holiday songs with which you're not familiar (Delerium's "Terra Firma" and Meryn Cadell's "The Cat's Carol"). It is entirely another thing when these newly-discoverd holiday songs elicit more confusion than comfort. Again, just play the lead track and possibly Maren Ord's version of "The Christmas Song," then turn to your collection of Peanuts' holiday songs for the remainder of the season.
