Platinum-selling singer/songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman is ready to spread the holiday cheer this season with his Christmas CD, All I Really Want For Christmas.With more than one million of his Christmas titles sold to date. This collection of 12 original and traditional holiday favorites includes new Chapman originals.
Rounding out the holiday project are a couple of special appearances, one from country superstar Vince Gill sharing his voice on a new version of "Christmas Is All In The Heart. Another special guest is Chapman's first adopted daughter, Shaohannah Hope. Shaoey starts the CD off with her touching narration of "The Christmas Story taken from the Book of Luke. She closes out the project, joined by her dad, singing her rendition of "We Wish You A Merry Christmas, a special hidden track at the end of the CD. Shaohannah, now age 6, also appears with her dad on the CD cover.
All I Really Want For Christmas' first single, the endearing "All I Really Want, promises to be a song we'll want to hear for years to come. The song focuses on a topic dear to Chapman's heart – adoption. "All I Really Want shares the story of a little boy's one item wish list to Santa, asking not for toys at Christmastime but for a family. Chapman sings:
"All I really want for Christmas is someone to tuck me in, a shoulder to cry on if I lose and shoulders to ride on if I win There's so much I could ask for but there's just one thing I need All I really want for Christmas is a family.
