I really like Ciara's solo medley. It has a similar beat and feel to "One for Sorrow/Two for Joy" that is posted on YT from the Cork Folk Festival. I could tell that was her (not Tara) before I looked at the liner notes in the CD.

I also voted for Nollaig na mBan. I think it's beautiful. But maybe because that one's been out for a while. And I haven't listened to the other songs a whole lot yet.

The poll results are interesting!!!

I put Nollaig na mBan, Codail A Linbh, and Auld Lang Syne as my favourites, but I think my favourites are actually Codail A Linbh, Silver Bells, and Auld Lang Syne.

Codail A Linbh is a sweet lullaby and I love the melody!

I love the arrangement they used for Silver Bells, it’s very unique, and the choir adds to the effect most splendidly!

Auld Lang Syne is beautiful as always, and Caitríona especially shines through! She has a truly wonderful voice.

I also really like River! Mairéad’s voice always brings a special element to her songs with the way her voice delightfully floats on the melody, and this song is no exception! I love the way she goes lower on some of the lines as well, as if she’s diving in the melody a bit. It’s a rather sweet song as well.

Ciara’s medley with Tara Howley is beautiful as well!

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen      
Silver Bells   

These two song’s were once just what if …because if Celtic Woman were to continuing Christmas Albums but very surprised yet not surprised that they would end up taking on this. Now I’m imagining Mairead C doing Blue Christmas in flair  :P

In the Bleak Midwinter / Goin' Home - Medley
Oh  :’( I miss Caranua existence but blessed by their existence one of my favorites hymn songs from their album with Jason Tonioli!!!!! Hearing Lisa Lambe doing this was a dream and brought SFTH Tour memories.

Wexford Carol- Muirgen at the finest YET again!!
Little Drummer Boy - I love Mairead Carlin’s voice on this with Muirgen

If I could only pick three well,
Silent Night, Wexford Carol and Little Drummer Boy for me. :)
