Michael Bublè’s smooth, iconic voice never fails to please the listener’s ears especially during the holidays. Even though it’s two years old, the sound of his Christmas album not only makes you want to curl up in front of the fireplace, but also has all the magic of classical songs with a new twist to it.

There are 15 songs on the CD including a personal greeting from the man himself. The songs seem to flow one after the other with smooth and easy transitions. It was so comfortably familiar; I could almost always predict what was coming next.

Although there are only two original creations of his album, Bublé does an amazing job of doing different things with what is well known. He surprises the listener with unique perspectives, basing his songs on popular versions sung by other musicians. Besides serenading us in a couple of foreign languages, he teams up with a few other musicians to provide even more variety.

His album has been a chart-topping hit on Billboard album sales during Christmas for the past couple of years in a row. He also continued on with his annual NBC Christmas special. If you missed the new special, an encore will be shown on Christmas Day on Channel 5.

With his voice being the perfect embodiment of holiday spirit, this CD is the perfect way to create a timeless custom of waking up the whole family on Christmas morning.
