This is another Top 5 in my collection of Christmas albums. It's a beautiful instrumental collection of songs on guitars by Phil Keaggy backed by the London Festival Orchestra to produce a very full, classical sound. It's an excellent 50 minutes of music including some classic instrumental versions of carols like "What Child Is This?", "O Holy Night" and "O Come O Come Emmanuel", but also some original new tunes like "For Hearth And Home" and the "Nativity Suite" comprised of 3 different tracks. It's a beautiful album to put on in the background during your Christmas events but it's also really fun to listen to in the foreground and turned up loud. It sounds just as excellent today as it was when it was released 26 years ago.
