Excellent!

I have been a fan of Kenny Rogers for many years, and I consider him to be especially good at singing Christmas songs. This is his first Christmas album (released on LP in 1981) - and definitely his best! It won't be Christmas without this album!

First Christmas

I grew up with my grandparents, and was introduced to the gravel that is the voice of Kenny Rogers at a very early age. One of my aunts gave me a cassette of Christmas Wishes when I was about five years old, and it was the first Christmas tape I had ever owned. My grandfather finally forbid me to play it anymore because not only was it beginning to drive him insane, but I was about to warp the tape. I'm 21 years old now, and I have more than 50 Christmas CDs in my collection, but this album still is the one I go back to. It's the one playing at dinner on Christmas Eve, and Christmas morning when we're all opening our presents. Not to wax poetic, but it's a truly timeless album. I remember laying in bed when I was a kid, singing these songs softly to myself until I'd finally fall asleep. It's one that I'll have so my kids can drive me insane with it in the future.
