18个月，让一位平凡素人飞上枝头变凤凰，邻家大婶苏珊波尔的传奇故事成为世界头条新闻焦点！无惧那些冷漠嘲笑勇敢追梦，缔造不可思议的奇迹。参加英国版星光大道选秀比赛“Britain's Got Talent”实况，塞爆YouTube网络平台，冲破5亿人次点阅率，占据2009年之冠。首张处女之航《星光圆梦I Dreamed A Dream》，成为亚马逊史上预购量最多、全球销量最快的第一张作品、世界各地开出逼近1000万张的惊人销售数字、空降英美等21国排行冠军！这是质朴的苏珊，透过因梦想而伟大的灵魂，唱出感动千万人的声音！
苏珊的故事给予人们无限启发和慰藉。出生苏格兰农村，加上外型和学习障碍，一路走来跌跌撞撞，在人际和工作方面，备尝艰辛和屈辱，音乐就成为最具慰藉的庇护所。直到47岁那年，靠着一首〈I Dreamed A Dream〉，意外成为国际瞩目的头号人物，借由歌谣得到全然释放，走出宅妇阴影，实现最真梦想。从苏珊的美丽音符中，找到希望的力量，振翅展翼抓住属于自己的一片天！
满溢感恩之情，在这家人齐聚一堂的缤纷节日中，苏珊献上最温馨的感恩特礼《The Gift》，仍是交付年轻的超级红牌制作大师Steve Mac（里欧娜、美声男伶、西城男孩）操刀，苏珊亲自挑选别具意义的经典曲目予以新唱。开场的主打〈Perfect Day〉，诠释庞克教父、The Velvet Underground灵魂人物Lou Reed世纪佳作，搭配气势磅礡的管弦乐，以及大型合音团队的辅佐，绝对能将那份感动之情唱至人们心底深处；“摇滚名人殿堂”终身会员的Leonard Cohen抚慰灵魂之〈Hallelujah〉，编织钢琴和弦乐互动出的温柔音网；在YouTube征选“下一个苏珊波尔(Susan Search)”活动得主、纽约救护人员也是三个孩子的妈妈Amber Stassi对唱〈Do You Hear What I Hear?〉，飘散圣洁乐音陪衬，突显两人渲染力强烈的嗓音，无论是独唱或二部合唱，如同天使般传递衷心祝福；新西兰籍音乐才子Neil Finn领军的摇滚团队Crowded House最耳熟能详之〈Don't Dream It's Over〉，以儿童/成人合唱团交替幕后伴唱，千万别让失去方向的落寞感牵绊人生继续前进之动力；接着利用Acoustic吉他为基调〈The First Noel〉、〈O Holy Night〉、Acapella无伴奏演绎〈O Come All Ye Faithful〉、以及清澈童声引领〈Away In A Manger〉...等多首传统圣诞应景颂歌，皆蕴藏着祥和气息。苏珊再一次透出坚定信念、安抚心灵的意念，同时在声声诚挚恩典传递下，洋溢无比幸福的感应！

Now with a beautiful seasonal album she will, once again, defy critics and preconceptions.
Susan explained; 'When making this album, I really wanted the songs to touch hearts. Music has always been a companion to me, particularly on special occasions. I wanted there to be a mix of songs that would flow with all our moods this holiday season. As much as the season is a time for reflection, it is also a time for fun and enjoyment with those closest to us.'
