5 out of 5 stars Made me want to sing along.......2000-10-17

I'm not a big fan of Christmas music, because it gets overplayed for months on end and so much of it is crassly commercial. But Home For Christmas is very down-to-earth and polished at the same time. The singing is wonderful, the instrumentation folksy, like the performers are right in the room with you and hoping you'll sing along. The first time I listened all the way through, I was crying by the end of "Ave Maria."

This one is definitely something special.

5 out of 5 stars Home for Christmas--it reminded me of home.......2000-09-21

I heard in her voice and in her arrangements somebody who remembers Christmas much the same way I do. She uses traditional and straightforward arrangements and sings with a strong and honest voice. Her music evokes nostalgia for my Texas panhandle childhood. I've never met Gerri Gribi, but I got to know her a little bit listening to her Christmas record. What shines through for me in this record is the raw emotion of the holiday season. It attempts to capture the spirit of a simpler time, and I believe it succeeds brilliantly. This is a very satisfying Christmas record.
