"So is the general consensus if you do not like Christmas music you will not be impressed by the Annie Lennox Christmas recording. If you do like Christmas music you just might like Annie's interpretations?"

Unfortunately, it's not quite that simple, Arkie. I really like well-sung Christmas carols (and, indeed, sing them myself), whereas anything "Christmassy" by Paul McCartney, Cliff Richard etc. makes me feel positively queasy. There are probably others who think the opposite! It depends on what sort of Christmas music you like!
