This Christmas CD has been very popular with music lovers, as Valerie and the guys put a jazz twist on the Christmas favorites like Mel Torme's "The Christmas Song",  "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas",  and "The Christmas Waltz", as well as traditional hymns like "Silent Night" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen".  The big hit on this CD, though, is the title cut, "It Can't Be Christmas Without You", which was written by Valerie's brother, Chuck Brand.  This CD has swing tunes, Latin, a jazz waltz and some sentimental ballads... something for everyone!
