With a seemingly endless stream of hit singles, gold albums, Grammys, and other awards under his belt,
Steven Curtis Chapman was one of the most prominent figures in Christian music by the early 2000s. As a sort of companion album to his 1995 release,
The Music of Christmas, 2005's
All I Really Want for Christmas finds
Chapman mixing traditional Christmas songs ("Go Tell It On the Mountain," "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear"), with originals ("Christmas Is All in the Heart").
Chapman's listener-friendly orchestrated pop is in full flower on this collection of seasonal tunes.
