EDITORS’ NOTES
MercyMe chose a Christmas release to return to their rock roots after striking gold with Christian and adult contemporary fans. Layered arrangements, retooled melodies, plenty of brass, and even a little Texas twang make for a multi-faceted holiday mix. The sentimental “Joseph’s Lullaby” is a welcome addition to the Christmas canon, and “Little Drummer Boy” allows the guys to let loose, while their cover of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” builds with a dramatic, cinematic intensity that elevates the carol to new heights.

Ratings and Reviews
Mercy Me is the best christian band!
I really like this cd because it has all my favorite christmas songs with a little flare. I love the way they tweaked each song with a little modern touch. You definitely will not be disappointed
Great Christmas Album!
I have a new favorite Christmas album now! I love the new take on familiar carols, though there are a few 'clunkers (Silent Night come to mind). I only knew of MercyMe from hearing a couple of their songs on the radio before, but after hearing this I'm off to check out some of their other stuff. 'I can only imagine' I'll enjoy it just as much. :-)
MercyMe at Their Best!
musically, this is one of my favorite albums of all time! why isn't there more music be like this in the world?
