Randy Travis isn't just a holiday favorite; he's a full-time favorite for country music fans everywhere. His two Christmas releases are 18 years apart, but they're both excellent regardless of what year it is!

"Nothin's Gonna Bring Me Down (At Christmas Time)" is tongue-and-cheek as only Randy can do. "(There's No Place Like) Home For the Holidays" is a toe-tapper ... even for folks (like one of my family members) who don't list country music as a favorite. "Angels We Have Heard On High" is pure and simple ... and simply glorious.

The perky "Meet Me Under The Mistletoe" is a great love song for the season. Randy's version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is, in a word, outstanding, as is his rendition of "Pretty Paper."
