The album has released!
I just finished doing a writeup for Celtic Woman: The Magic of Christmas and it's almost 2:30 AM here on a work night, so I'll be listening to this one after work on Friday.

Thoughts
It's similar in style to her other Christmas albums: immensely soothing and pretty.
All the songs are nice. O Holy Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem, and Auld Lang Syne were some of my favorites. There are quite a few medleys on the album. One that stood out was The Holly Bears A Berry/Craigburn Wood, which had some nice vocal harmony (without instrumental backing).
I enjoyed it!
