 The WORST Christmas album ever... January 2, 2008
Katherine Laura Mayfield (Northwest Florida, the United States of America)

...and I've heard Elvis's Christmas album in which he sings "Blue Christmas" like he's having a seizure. I was skeptical when I saw the only religious song was O' Holy Night, which she absolutely massacred to the point of sacrilege. I would be ashamed to put out such a disgusting album. The only song she sang right was "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", but it's still Brenda Lee's song. And what the hell does "What a Wonderful World" have to do with the Christmas holidays? (Though I did sort of enjoy this song in a "Who's that Doggie in the Window" kind of way.)
Leann does have a voice ("Blue" is amazing and her inspirational CD, "You Light Up My Life" had a couple of good songs, so I know she can do MUCH better). There was too much heavy breathing, ad-libbing "oh yeah", for example, and singing monosyllabic words as polysyllabic (I don't know what you call that in musical terms, I just know what I heard was caterwauling). Sometimes it sounded like she was trying to sing in the middle of an orgasm, and I felt like a weirdo for listening.
If you want to listen to "White Christmas", listen to Bing Crosby sing it, if you want to listen to "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", listen to Judy Garland sing it in "Meet Me in St. Louis", which it was actually written for, and, of course, Brenda Lee's version of "Rockin'" is still the best and the only version I've heard in all the Christmas movies I've seen.
I think "Just Love Me" was just about the worst (badly written) song on here. It should have been titled "A Trailer Park Christmas". If I want to hear a redneck, white trash, blue collar "holiday" song, I'll listen to "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"--at least it's somewhat entertaining.
If you want to listen to a GOOD Christmas CD, get Jim Reeves's "The Twelve Songs of Christmas" (which has "Senor Santa Claus" on it--such a cute song!).
Now that I think about it, even though "O' Holy Night" was the only religious song on here, she didn't sing any about Santa Claus either. What's with that?
 Merry Christmas, My Friends! July 16, 2007

LeAnn Rimes is one of my favourite artists. Her voice is amazing and the songs are usually great. This album is quite a good one. Well, the songs are probably too peaceful. I would have wished more rocking songs like the opening track "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree". The album is not so good as a normal album but I bet it is great to listen to in Christmas time.

 LeAnn Rimes' First Christmas album March 7, 2007
Enrique M. Flores (Richmond, Indiana, USA)
A great mixture of Classic Holiday songs. With 10 tracks (11 with the Target Exclusive Bonus Track "Santa Baby") this album has 8 (9 with "Santa Baby") 2 brand new song she co-wrote: "A Different Kind Of Christmas" & "Just Love Me" (which her husband, Dean Sheremet also co-wrote with her).
I think LeAnn Rimes deserves a big round of applause for this great CD.
just plain awful January 6, 2006

Now, don't get me wrong, I actually happen to be a fan of Ms. Rimes. I bought this Christmas CD to add to my collection, and totally wasted my money. Her voice on this CD is just atrocious and annoying, and her butchery of "Oh Holy Night" is just plain obscene. Stick with her regular CD's and pass on this one , if you know what is good for you.
Not what I expected from a singer of LeAnn's calibre.. December 7, 2005

It is okay. Not great, just okay. I love LeAnn Rimes, and this is not her best. The singing is just ehh, nothing amazing, and she does too much jumping around. It's good if you can add your own touch to a song to liven it up a bit, but LeAnn overdoes it. It is okay if you want a mediocre christmas album. I wouldn't buy it again.
If you are actually unlucky enough to have heard Christina Aguilera's Christmas album and this one, I swear that LeAnn copied off of several of Christina's badly sung songs! It's hilarious. She sings it exactly the same "unique" way, arrangements and all!
