Clay should have won American Idol, but this is also the only good album he's made yet. He does the classics well. It's your standard Christmas album, take the songs as is, use the Clay voice, and it's a hit. The originals on the album stink, which is why his other stuff is no good, he has bad original songs. But his covers are very good. "O Holy Night", "Mary Did You Know", "Winter Wonderland", are among the highlights.

Overall, if you're looking for an original album, look elsewhere. These are just Christmas songs with the Clay voice. That said, he has a great voice. So if you're looking for the Christmas standards, look here, looking for something more original? Grab Relient K's Christmas album.

Merry Christmas With Love is one of the best Christmas Albums ever released in a long time. There isn't one song that he sings that I don't enjoy listening to. I've listened to this album in December and July, it doesn't matter. What he does with the songs, has to be experienced. His Christmas music in person takes your breath away, not just the voice but his style is just so enjoyable.
