Originally released in 1972, this album comprises a nice selection of Christmas material, but annoyingly it gives no details of who was in the Bill Gaither Trio at the time. There are one or two spoken introductions to some of the songs and whilst everything is very tastefully done and easy on the ear, it's not really very exciting. I just wish they had done a few more up-tempo Christmas songs. Still, if you are an enthusiastic supporter of the Gaithers you may enjoy this pleasant Christmas album.

I have the original vinyl released in 1972; any avid listener to the trio at the time, knew the 3 members were Bill & Gloria Gaither and Bill's brother Danny. I was going through my stacks of vinyl and forgot that I had this classic Christmas lp. I was somewhat disappointed that only 2 of the songs were written by Bill & Gloria (for they are such gifted writers). Amidst the traditional holiday tunes, side 1 ends with "Redeeming Love" a new song penned by Bill & Gloria (the song is combined with Hark the Herald Angels Sing). The song is just so wonderful; a song of beauty for the holiday. Side 2 ends with the other penned new song by Bill & Gloria, "King of Kings". Wonderful harmony is heard! I love side 2 starter "C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S"; I had never heard this song before this album. I really like the Caribbean styled "The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy"; luv the bgvs. Wow! does the time go by, it's almost that time again to bring out so many great timeless tunes for the Christmas holiday. GOD Bless! - Don
