Given that a very Ally Christmas could possibly involve anorexia, this album might seem, at first glance, disturbing. Fortunately, it's actually a very nice piece of work, and totally accessible even if you've never witnessed star Calista Flockhart dancing with a weird animated baby.
Flockhart herself shows up to croon "Santa Baby" in a style both infantile and erotic, a mix emulated by R&B diva Macy Gray on the inevitable "Winter Wonderland." The bulk of the album, however, is a series of soulful takes on holiday standards by Vonda Shephard, the show's one woman Greek chorus. The most surprising track, however, comes courtesy of an out-of-rehab Robert Downey Jr., who turns in a surprisingly credible version of Joni Mitchell's "River."

My recommendations are that you include this album CD along with other small gifts when you decide to gift it to family and friends. It should be about a gift of the senses. Maybe music, lotions, yummy treats in a hamper.
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.
