Editorial Review:
From the first family of gospel comes siblings BeBe and CeCe Winans's First Christmas, recorded in 1993. Slightly dated by a heavy use of synthesizer and the squeaky-slick production prominent in popular gospel and R&B of the late '80s and early '90s, First Christmas is nevertheless right on time in its joyful celebration of the season. Newly arranged versions of classics like Irving Berlin's "White Christmas," Handel's "Joy to the World," and "For Unto Us (A Child Is Born)" cozy in with originals "Give Me a Star," "I Love You," and "Just Because." "The First Noel," a well-loved public-domain traditional, begins with a beautifully understated string arrangement. The album's finest moment is S. Vincent's "Ooh Child"; aurally pleasing and emotionally moving, Mom and Pop Winans, both of whom sing like angels, take on lead vocal duty, backed and supported by their gifted children. It's all about family here, and the more the merrier. --Paige La Grone

Rating: - An Everlasting Classic
Christmas celebration, reverie, eating, and good times just do not start in our house until this CD is put on first!! 'Nuff said.
Rating:  - Christmas w/Bebe and CeCe
We enjoyed listening to this CD over the Christmas holiday. The pace of the music is a bit on the slow side, but all in all, a very nice CD.
Rating: - Made my Christmas
I really enjoyed this Christmas CD during the holidays. I had it on cassette but w/the CD I was able to listen to it in my car as I drove around doing my shopping!
Rating: - The Best of The Best
Bebe & Cece have been #1 on my list since I first heard an album
by them many years ago. If I could, I'd purchase this Christmas album for everybody, everywhere, so they could know beautiful music
if they'd never heard music before. Do yourself a favor and purchase it immediately so you are ready for Christmas 2005.
Rating: - Just a Great Christmas album, with Christ and the secular.
BeBe and CeCe are great for mixing the word with the secular and my husband truly enjoys this album and he isn't a church goer. This is a man who could do without most Christmas music, but can not go without this CD during the season. Great takes on secular classics like Jingle Bells and wonderful songs about the real meaning of the season like Give Me a Star. I am not a big gospel fan, but I like this album too. I can go the whole holiday season with this CD, Luther's "This Christmas" ... Read More
