Beautiful renditions of Christmas classics

"The Celtic Ladies have once again shown that their voices and musicality are well above the average. This wonderful tin-boxed set of 35 Christmas songs is something that I can have playing in the background without getting irritated, unlike many mass-market Christmas music collections.
Now, you may wonder why I said 35 songs when the box and the CDs all say 12 per CD, 3 CDs. (Should be 36, you say?) Well, much to my displeasure, the last track on the 3rd CD is actually a repeat! It was not supposed to be. It is listed as "Go Tell It On The Mountain" - a wonderful and uplifting song. However, it seems to b a repeat of track 7 from the first CD: "O Holy Night" - also very nicely done but when you go in thinking you will get "Go Tell It On The Mountain", "O Holy Night" comes as a bit of a shock.
However, even with this missing track (or mistake in mastering) - this boxed set is very much worth having in my music collection. And it lets me play holiday music for the family without wanting to stuff my ears with cotton balls."
