Christmas Through Your Eyes (Gloria Estefan)

Gloria Estefan's Christmas Through Your Eyes makes a nice addition for a holiday album collection. It includes many lovely renditions of holiday classics, including some Spanish language on "Silent Night" and "Arbolito de Navidad." It also includes the title track, which might be considered a modern Christmas classic.

While this does have the aforementioned partially or wholly Spanish tracks, I wouldn't characterize it as a very Latin Christmas album, although "Arbolito de Navidad" is one of the strongest tracks included. For those who would like more Spanish-language versions of holiday songs, consider picking up Luis Miguel's Navidades album, which features many great renditions. However, for those who are looking for a nice stylistic blend of holiday tunes, Estefan delivers with this album, which I imagine pops up in stores seasonally.

Tracks:
1. Overture: Silver Bells
2. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)
3. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
4. Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
5. This Christmas
6. I'll Be Home for Christmas
7. White Christmas
8. Silent Night
9. Christmas Through Your Eyes
10. Arbolito de Navidad
11. Christmas Auld Lang Syne
