The first day of Christmas

The Christmas season is officially here! Yay! And on this first day of Christmas someone gave to me, the new Michael W. Smith Christmas CD.

So honestly, I didn’t know who Michael W. Smith was before I received this CD to review. But I figured it’s fairly hard to go wrong with Christmas music, so I opted to listen to it and tell you what I think.

Micheal W. Smith performs a few vocal numbers and is backed by what must be a gigantic orchestra. A couple of the other numbers are instrumental. Some of the songs are loud and fast paced and jovial and really get you into the mood to decorate. Other songs move more slowly and beautifully, reminding you of the true meaning of Christmas. But all of them have an essence of christmas magic about them (boy was that cheesy sounding or what but I couldn’t think of any other way to put it) and I was pleasantly surprised to find I really enjoyed this CD.

I’m really not a fan of loud swelling orchestra music or loud singing but it didn’t bother me as much as I thought it would. I’ll definitely be listening to this one more this month.
