Carrie Underwood: ‘Realizations Can Come At The Worst Times’

Last week, Carrie Underwood announced that she is releasing her very first Christmas album, My Gift on September 25.

In addition to the announcement she made, Carrie told us that this is actually the perfect year to focus on the holiday. She said, “Now more than ever, we all need to focus on what Christmas is about and rely more on our family."

She added, "And even though it as been a tough year, sometimes I feel like the greatest realizations can come at the worst times or in the most stressful times and it makes you more thankful for the things that you do have.”

As we previously reported, My Gift features a world-class orchestra, led by the pre-eminent arranger, composer, and conductor David Campbell, whose many credits include iconic recordings by artists including Linda Ronstadt, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Barbra Streisand, Michael Jackson, Josh Groban, and his son Beck.
