Our favorite Christmas songs of 2011 -
What a gorgeous little gem. There’s a touching innocence in this ballad, a simple and wondrous tale of two souls uniting at Christmas, the joy of the moment and the promise of many more to come. And Lee Ann Womack tells the story perfectly.
What a voice. Ms. Womack has to be one of the most underrated entertainers in the country music business. Of course she’s had her hits and won her share of awards but has never really secured her place on the A-list…possibly because fans often have to wait years between albums. Still, for my money she’s up there with Dolly Parton when it comes to wringing every last drop of emotion out of the music… in this case, the hope and exhilaration of a fresh romance, combined with the celebration of Christmas.
