Emma: **.5

Emma: I recently learned the definition of "Schmaltz"; it's fascinating. This album is, I believe, an alternate definition. Think classical hits like Jesu Joy smushed in with classic carols, very perfect and produced smooth vocals. Think: Mall music in December. Not all bad, at all, but not something I want to actively listen to, really.
Charlie: This gets a big 'meh' from me. Nothing about it stands out or makes it particularly listen-worthy; it's a bunch of traditional Christmas songs with zealous (some might say overly-so) orchestral arrangements and not particularly compelling vocal performances. It scores high on the pandering meter, though. No desire to repeat listen to this one.
Do you want it forever: No thanks.
