This looks relatively uncontroversial- happy to offer some thoughts. J Milburn (talk) 20:40, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally, I'd like to see the album cover reduced to 300 by 300 px (or even smaller).
"The album mostly consists of traditional or modern Christmas songs that the band had grown up with, but also includes one original song, "Joseph's Lullaby"." This sentence is a little odd. How about "In addition to one original song, "Joseph's Lullaby", the album consists of covers of both modern and traditional Christmas songs that the band members had listened to when growing up."
"The album spawned several successful songs on radio" Could this be rephrased?
Rick Anderson is a dablink. I went to school with someone of that name...
""Gloria" is a reinterpretation of "Angels We Have Heard on High"" I think the link should be on the original song

Sources look great. The writing's OK- below the mark for FAC, but fine for GAC. I made a few fixes, please double-check them. I do want to have a quick look for sources, but, for now, my comments above about sum up my response. J Milburn (talk) 21:39, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed issues 1, 2, 4, and 5 as noted. For issue 4, I reworded to "Multiple songs from the album appeared on record charts". Toa Nidhiki05 22:03, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Great stuff. Some spotchecks came back OK, and a search around for further sources threw up nothing significant. I'm happy to promote now. J Milburn (talk) 22:46, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
