今年冬天，惠妮推出一張回歸音樂本質、融合經典耶誕歌曲與全新創作曲的溫馨耶誕專輯《One Wish The Holiday Album》，充滿流暢悅耳的旋律：發揮惠妮清亮高音的開場曲The First Noel，為全輯揭開精采的序幕；The Christmas Song融合淡淡Jazz風味和純正惠妮即興風格；在樂迷耳熟能詳的Little Drummer Boy中，惠妮與女兒小芭比溫馨合唱，其間穿插與靈魂美聲Sharlott Gibson的精采對飆，尾聲惠妮還神來一筆的耍起嘴皮哼唱；特地為專輯量身打造的全新單曲One Wish (For Christmas) 則洋溢著浪漫幸福的氛圍，惠妮也展現了許久不見的高亢假音；有著聖潔莊嚴福音味的Cantique De Noel(O Holy Night)惠妮用最虔誠的嗓音詮釋出濃郁豐沛的情感。
Deck The Halls/Silent Night是專輯的一塊瑰寶，巧妙編織的兩首聖誕經典歌曲，由慢至快的節拍和惠妮獨樹一格的節奏感讓人耳目一新；Have Yourself A Merry Little Xmas輕盈浪漫的節奏會讓人想播一整天；O Come O Come Emanuel中惠妮以無伴奏合聲清唱的Acapella型式，隨著不斷升高的曲勢堅定吶喊著Rejoice!；最後登場的Joy To The World在唱詩班的合聲下，從輕柔低吟到磅礡激昂、淋漓盡至地展現惠妮爐火純青的唱功。

1. The First Noel
The first Nael, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay tending their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Nael, Nael, Nael, Nael
Born is the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Nael, Nael, Nael, Nael
Born is the King of Israel.
Jesus Christ is
Born is the King of Israel. [2x]
Nael, Nael, Nael
Born is the King of Israel.
Jesus
The first Nael
He is the Son yeah
Born is the King of
King of
Oh yeah yeah
Oh Christ is born
Ooh hallelujah hey
He is born
Oh Christ the King is born作者: comicsking77 時間: 2009-6-11 09:30 PM

2. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)
(Ooh well ooh Lord)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire (well)
Jack Frost nipping on your nose (mmm)
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe (well)
Help to make the season bright (mmm)
Tiny little tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
(Scats)You know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
Everybody's mother's child is going to spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
From kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas (Scats)
Happy Chanukah
Happy Kwanzaa
Merry Christmas to
To all of you
Merry Christmas to everyone作者: comicsking77 時間: 2009-6-11 09:32 PM

4. One Wish (For Christmas)
(Oooh oooh oooh oooh)
If there were no presents
Waiting on Santa's sleigh
What would I wish for Christmas
And if Frosty the Snowman
Were melting away
I would pray for hope and unity
On Christmas day
If I had one wish for Christmas
There would be joy
And peace here on earth
If I had one wish for Christmas this year
We would all come together as one
If Rudolph and his reindeer
Ran into delays
I'd still hope for joy this season
And if somehow Santa got lost on his way
I would try to find a way to smile
Smile on Christmas day
If I had one wish for Christmas
There would be joy
And peace here on earth
If I had one wish for Christmas this year
We would all come together as one
You know it ain't about
All those material things (no no)
What you've gotta think about
Is the love Christmas brings (yeah)
If I had one wish for Christmas
There would be joy
And peace here on earth
If I had one wish for Christmas this year
We would all come together as one
If I had one wish for Christmas
There would be joy
And peace here on earth
If I had one wish for Christmas this year
We would all.....................We would all............come together as one作者: comicsking77 時間: 2009-6-11 09:33 PM

5. Cantique De Nvel (O Holy Night)
O holy night.
The stars are brightly shining.
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
(Oh yes it is now.)
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til He appeared
And the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O o night when Christ was born
O night
O holy, holy night
O night divine
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O o night when Christ was born
O night
O holy night
O night divine
Mmm作者: comicsking77 時間: 2009-6-11 09:33 PM

6. I'll Be Home For Christmas
I'm dreaming tonight
Of a place I love
Even more than I usually do.
And although I know
It's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas.
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
Oh oh ah I'll be home for Christmas.
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree.
Oh Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
If only yeah
Well now, if only, only, only, only
If only in my dreams.
If only
Well, well, well Lord
If only oh
If only in my dreams.作者: comicsking77 時間: 2009-6-11 09:34 PM

8. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us, once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
