Doris Could have recorded a rousing version of Jingle Bells, Rudolph or some of the other up-tempo Christmas classics but Avoided All Those and the opt instead for a collection of romantic Christmas songs, some famous and some not. Even winter wonderland, a song That can be taken at a gallop, is sung by Doris with restraint and blends in well with the other tracks here. For me, the highlights are the obscure songs - Snowfall, Toyland, Be a child at Christmas time, Christmas Present and Christmas waltz - but Doris sings the classics superbly, as you would expect. This is not a party album but is ideal for the quieter moments during the festive season.
