  • I could listen to this CD all day!

    When I found Pachelbel's Christmas at CD Baby, I was estatic! I had Nature's Noel on cassette and the tape broke a year ago, so I searched all over to get another copy. I loved the nature sounds but Bruce's recordings are priceless with or without them!

  • Good, but miss the nature sounds

  • I miss the nature sounds from the Nature's Noel - I loved it!

    Please do a CD with the sounds of nature - I just loved that. I wore out the tape within a few months - I play it every day when I read my devotions. It's so lovely.

  • I love it.

    I first had the tape called Nature's Noel. It was the same thing except it had nature sounds to it. Loved it but like this one even better
