Doesn't it feel like Christmas? Well, it will after even a cursory listen to this seasonal offering from Destiny's Child, which mixes hardy favorites with newly minted holiday-oriented originals, all complete with the group's trademark luscious harmonies set to deft urban R&B orchestrations. The group kicks off with "8 Days of Christmas" (the other four presumably victims of some kind of Yuletide recession), with the traditional Christmas gifts replaced by diamond belly rings, back rubs, and "the keys to a CLK Mercedes."
Other highlights include "A DC Christmas Medley" which combines such beloved chestnuts as "Jingle Bells," "Deck the Halls," and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" in a hip-hop Christmas wonderland melange. Beyonce Knowles's scintillating version of "Silent Night" featured here (though, oddly, it's exclusively credited to the singer) should melt the hearts of even the Grinchiest DC haters.

A great way to gift wrap this album is to use clear cellophane and wrap it up by scrunching up the top like you do with gift baskets. The recipient will be able to see the contents and it looks so much more professional.
If you have never bought a Christmas album in your life, then I suggest this one be your very first! The record studio is reputable for great releases, and the artists know what they are doing. They successfully entertain any crowd whether it’s work xmas function or family one, it’s sure to please most listeners. The next best alternative would be a live 1930’s big band with an amazing percussionist. Then again, who can afford such entertainment? Buy this and it’ll be good enough.
