Silent Night Christmas Carols - Classic Holiday Songs for Festive Gatherings, Family Celebrations & Cozy Winter Nights

Now this album does seem to be obscure, but it still one of my favorite holiday records. Yes, it is getting a little crispy and warped by now, but I love the festive instrumentals, from the rousing and upbeat O Come All Ye Faithful and Joy to the World to the heart tugging The First Noel, O Holy Night, and the less and less heard We Three Kings of Orient Are. Though perhaps too plain, religious, or generic for contemporary secular folks, there is however something timeless at work here. Sans vocals trying to adhere to an of the moment style, the music and meaning are allowed room to accentuate that family dinner or night of trimming the tree. The dates, the hours just become, well, insignificant against the revelry. Happy Sigh.
