"My parents have been fans of Evie for almost as long as I can remember, so I grew up listening to most of the songs on this CD every Christmas. When I moved out, I bought this CD so I could keep hearing them. It never fails to put me in the Christmas mood, even in the summer, and I joking say it's not Christmas until you've heard Evie sing "Come On, Ring Those Bells."This CD takes most of the songs from her two Christmas records and combines them with 4 new songs written and performed for this collection. These new songs are good, but still don't match up to the "classics." My biggest complaint is that they didn't include all the songs from side 2 of "Come On...."The majority of the songs are traditional carols, but the original or rarer songs are magnificent. Aside from the one I've already mentioned, I love "No Room," "A Tiny Little Baby," and "A Thousand Candles," a Swedish carol that Evie translated into English. The arrangements of the traditional carols are marvelous as well, especially "O Holy Night" and "O Come, O Come Emmanuel."This CD is a great way to put yourself in the holiday spirit. It's one of my favorites from my Christmas collection and I recommend it to anyone."

"This is my favorite album of Christmas music. The songs are Christ-centered, and Evie has a beautiful voice. The first time I heard her version of Oh Holy Night it instantly became my all-time favorite Christmas song. That was over 20 years ago and I haven't changed my mind."

Christmas of Old

"This music reminds me of Christmas as a child before I knew about the commercialism! Evie sings every song just a bit differently and with more feeling than other artists on Christmas recordings. Some of the songs I had never heard before and I find myself humming them year-round!"
