The Christmas Sessions was released on September 27.  I ordered it in early October, shipping via media mail.  Wow.  That is like shipping via mule.  I think it took two weeks to arrive.  I don’t recommend it unless you really are in no hurry to get your item.  Upon first listening, I was a bit disenchanted like I was with Hymned since the songs aren’t originals by MercyMe.  Track 1 is a little too heavy for my taste, at least for Christmas music.  But after listening to the entire album again I warmed up to it.  What makes it more enjoyable each time are the arrangements.  My favorite track, Silent Night, has such a MercyMe sound to it that it points out to me how much I enjoy their musical style and Bart’s arranging and voice.
