I can't wait to hear the songs she selected for this record and I hope she wrote an original one.

I hope she wrote an original song too. I also hope she doesn't tack in the songs she did with the school choir

Hi Everyone,

Is this new album definitely all Christmas based songs, an album of new stuff, or, a mixture of both??

Do we know when it's going to released yet?? I want to tell Santa in plenty of time what I want in my stocking!! And yes, my mind is regressing!!

Hi Quincy! Unfortunately, no new song on the Christmas album. She said in an interview (this one: http://www.solaced.info/2016/07/intervi ... dge-radio/) that it wasn't coming. She had no inspiration for it I guess.
She talked about a release in fall, but didn't mention any precise date.

You can pre-order it on Amazon (see the link on the page), but shipping costs are higher than the price of the album for me to buy I hope it changes when they release this on sarahmclachlan.com ...

The album features classics such as "Silver Bells" reimagined into a shimmering, orchestrated picturesque tale as well as "Angels We Have Heard On High," a percussive hymn of adoration and Randy Newman's forlorn "Snow" from the 1960s. Emmylou Harris contributes vocals on "Go Tell It On The Mountain", also featuring Martha Wainwright, and "Away In A Manager," a new holiday song reinvented as a country shuffle.

Members of Canadian quartet, Half Moon Run, play on five tracks and helped McLachlan flesh out some of the arrangements, including "Huron Carol," Canada's oldest Christmas song. "They're all in their mid-to-late 20s. They're incredible musicians," McLachlan says. Rounding out the guests is the world famous Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, who perform on three songs, including "Let It Snow," "Silver Bells," and "Huron Carol." McLachlan enlisted orchestral arranger Brian Byrne to handle the particulars. "We had decided early on that it would be great to have string arrangements," McLachlan says. "We left some space for that and sent the arrangements to him and said 'Work your magic.' He did."

and there are two bonus tracks, but I don't know if they'll be available outside the USA:

Hi guys,
I went to a HMV store and the deluxe version is also available in Canada (maybe worldwide too?). I'll listen to it when I come back from work.
