I thought I would really enjoy this album, but it isn't one of my all-time favorites. I think if you enjoy more classical/world music, you could enjoy most of the songs.
It is an album titled "Songs of Joy & Peace" so only a few of them are actually Christmas songs, the rest are exactly that, songs of joy and peace!
The songs I enjoyed were: Joy to the World, The Wassail Song/All Through The Night, The Wexford Carol, My Favorite Things, Kuai Le
