Child: Music for the Christmas Season is a double-disc set which finds Jane Siberry running through a selection of holiday-oriented songs, throwing a few originals for good measure. Siberry is warm and friendly throughout the album, but she hasn't abandoned her sense of humor -- much of the on-stage patter is sharp and cutting. In all, it's a good souvenier for dedicated fans. ~ Thom Owens
