The album contains performers from Ireland, Scotland, England, Canada and the US, and has some of my favorite traditional Christmas songs, like "Good King Wenceslas", "Here We Come a Wassailing" and "O Come, O Come Emanuel."
The harmonies of the flute, harp, and mandolin in many of the songs are wistful and soothing and perfect for cozy-ing up on the couch on a cold December night. It's as if a band of traveling troubadours has stumbled onto my front doorstep (well, not really, but my imagination is sparked in that way by the music).
Celtic Christmas would make great background music for a Christmas party, wrapping gifts, or sipping wassail while watching the Yule log on TV. You can listen to some of the samples of the songs HERE.
