Holiday Spectacular Day 24: Andrea Bocelli: My Christmas Review and Giveaway

This time of year I love listening to holiday music, and thanks to Universal Music Group, I had a chance to listen to Andrea Bocelli’s first ever Christmas album, My Christmas (ARV $18.98 CD, $7.99 Digital Download).

My Christmas is the ultimate holiday recording from Andrea Bocelli, who sings traditional carols and favorites in English, with a few selections also featuring Italian and German…“I have long dreamed of recording a holiday album that captures the beautiful traditions of the holiday season. Every year these songs have brought incredible joy to my family and I, and it is my hope to give back that same joy by making this album,” commented Bocelli.

My Christmas was a magical and festive CD. I especially enjoyed the songs sung in foreign languages. Cantique de Noel was beautiful, and so was Adeste Fideles, which was my favorite track on the CD.

I loved the duets, particularly The Christmas Song, with Natalie Cole, and I also enjoyed Blue Christmas—I thought it was pretty neat to hear Bocelli singing a country hit!


Bocelli’s powerful and beautiful voice makes My Christmas one of my favorite holiday CDs, full of classic Christmas songs that never fails to get me in the holiday spirit!

Shop: You can purchase a download of My Christmas on iTunes,or purchase the CD at various retailers online and nationwide.

Win: One lucky winner will receive a copy of My Christmas!
