As someone else stated, I had this tape years ago and it was my very favorite. I lost it and couldn't remember the title. I looked in music stores - everywhere. I finally did a search on Amazon.com. The one song I really remembered was "Man from Casaeria". The music was beautiful. I finally found the name of the album and was thrilled to see that I could still order it. I have it on my computer now and play it whenever I want to hear relaxing music - Christmas or not! It is the BEST ever CD!!!!!! P.S. I have since also found the tape I had lost!

Ok, so I collect holiday CD's and have Many! THIS one is my all time favorite. The whole family loves it. We take it out Thanksgiving and play it non-stop through the holidays. It is hard to describe because of the different melodies, some serene, some lively. Did I mention that I love this cd?!

This collection is one of the top three albums of my over 500 CD collection of holiday music. I find The Man from Ceasaria to bring a refreshing MidEast flavor to any celebration, and the Return of the Magi is especially moving. John Doan's version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is one of the perfect evocations of how the holiday feels as you're packing up the ornaments and reflecting on all that's happened in this season and seasons past.

This album is especially suited to sitting quietly by the fire or dozing off to sleep -- or anytime that the joy and hecticness of the season threatens to make you forget the real reasons behind it.
