Jet, Dec 22, 2003

There's nothing like warm, joyful Christmas tunes to get you in the mood for the holiday season.

Whitney Houston delivers her first Christmas CD, One Wish--The Holiday Album, featuring such tunes as Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, O Holy Night and a medley of Deck the Halls and Silent Night.

"I've wanted to do a holiday album for some time," Whitney explains. "I think these are some of the most beautiful songs written about such a wonderful time of year, and I hope they appeal to everyone."

Gospel great BeBe Winans says his holiday CD My Christmas Prayer was a true labor of love and a work that he believes will not only "uplift and entertain, but also endure for decades to come."

My Christmas Prayer features such holiday favorites as Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, Joy To The World, O Little Town of Bethlehem and O Come All Ye Faithful.

Singer Ashanti adds to the joy of the season with her CD, Ashanti's Christmas, with such favorites as Winter Wonderland, We, Wish You A Merry Christmas, Silent Night and Donny Hathaway's This Christmas.

Also celebrating Christmas is Bishop T.D. Jakes with the CD, TD. Jakes Presents Follow The Star, featuring Smokie Norful, Donald Lawrence and other gospel greats.
