A Christmas to Remember Reviews:
A family favorite 
2008-12-26 - Even our teens are anxious to throw on this old favorite. Great orchestration on many songs. It sounds like Christmas to us.
Amy's best Cmas CD
2008-12-16 - The first time listening through, A Christmas to Remember sounded slow, but beautiful, since the title track is the only song on the CD that sounds like it could be released as a single. By the second listening, I loved the soothing sounds of Christmas!! I love all of Amy's Christmas CDs, but this one is (currently) my favorite!
An Underappreciated Gem
2008-08-31 - To me, Christmas isn't Christmas without an Amy Grant CD being played. I wait impatiently for the holiday season to roll around so I can dig her holidays CDs out and play them incessantly. My favorite of hers is the now classic "Home For Christmas" which should be in every Christmas lover's CD collection. I place this offering, her third, right behind that one and before her first one, "The Christmas Album."(Which hasn't aged well). Heresy, you say? Not really. Granted, she doesn't really offer much here as a songwriter, but she still has an amazing gift for making a song her own. Her voice and delivery bring out so much emotion and is well suited to this, for the most part, well-chosen collection. There really isn't a bad track here, though as a few people have noted, the addition of "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Mr. Santa" stand out in a less than flattering way. They're not terrible, but they don't really belong here among such serious and thematic songs; they're more suited to a children's album. The best songs on the album are surprisingly the more melancoly and reflective ones, such as "Till The Season Comes Round Again" and "Christmas Lullaby (I Will Lead You Home)", which is my favorite off the album and never fails to tear me up! Her use of choir and strings on "Silent Night" give it an almost ethereal feeling and "Welcome To Our World" is simply stunning. If there's a downside to this album, it's simply that it's too short, clocking in just shy of 40 minutes. I highly recommend this often overlooked album by one of the best vocalists around. Merry Christmas!!
The Best!!!
2008-01-18 - I love all of Amy Grant's CD's and Christmas CD's, but this is definitely her best Christmas CD of all!
This is a Great Christmas Album
2007-12-21 - I have all three of Amy's Christmas CDs (I don't know about the one with Art Garfunkle). I like them all for different reasons.
This one shows a real maturity in Amy's offerings. The songs are more grown up, her voice has beautifully grown up. There are several songs on here that I play over and over again.
If you like Amy Grant, you should have this CD along with all the others.
