Amazon.com: Kenny Rogers became such a sensation not only because his warm voice could be gravelly and smooth, but also because of his knack for weaving a yarn. And what would Christmas be without someone telling stories that made you laugh, or cry, or just feel warm and fuzzy? Christmas doesn't really pull any surprises, but fans won't be disappointed by Rogers's crooning of "White Christmas" and "Carol of the Bells." His voice has always done well in the upper reaches of its range, and by including "O Holy Night," Rogers has chosen wisely: His delivery at the song's end can give goose bumps. "Kentucky Homemade Christmas" and Rogers's handling of both "Christmas Is My Favorite Time of the Year" and "Kids" proves he can still spin a tale as well as he can carry a tune. --Steve Gdula

A Christmas Classic! I had this CD on an album when I was growing up and it has been digitally remastered onto a CD. No surprises. Great value. I just wish they would put a couple bonus tracks on these remastered CDs. As with the album, there are ten songs on this CD. For the price, its a steal.
Moving album I grew up with this LP (I think I just dated myself). It was great then and even better now in the CD format! - Natasha
Excellent This CD was excellent, just what I was looking for in a particular song and all the songs are excellent. So glad I found it.
Kenny Rogers--old time country If you like Kenny Rogers and you like Christmas music, you will love this CD
Classic christmas album I've been listening to this album on record since I was a little girl so I was very happy when it was released on CD. Has a great mix of originals and traditional Christmas songs. Kenny Rogers' voice and the songs make you want to curl up next to the fire! A must-have for anyone who likes tradition christmas music!
