[ru] Christmas Eve and Other Stories

Christmas Eve and Other Stories — дебютный студийный альбом американской рок-группы Trans-Siberian Orchestra, вышедший в 1996 году. Это рок-опера в жанре христианской притчи: по сюжету, Господь в ночь Рождества посылает своего ангела на Землю проверить, осталось ли на ней что-либо достойное спасения. Ангел встречает различных добрых людей, собирает песни и истории и в финале приносит их Богу.
