Customer Reviews:

I LOVE the christmas angle!!!.......2006-12-01

ok this would not be the best review but i just had to tell you i LOVE this CD!!!! the story is really neat and the music, it is the Best!!!

P.S. this is RumWomans Teen Age Daughter

Scary and spooky.......2006-10-31

This CD is more suited for Halloween than Christmas. Some of the music is interesting, but overall, the whole effect is just weird.

Music good, Story uninspiring and unnecessary.......2005-12-26

I received this as a Christmas gift from someone who really likes Mannheim Steamroller. They listened and didn't like the talking. I wasn't that familiar with them although I had heard Deck The Halls before. I found the CD very easy to listen to. I like the music. I wouldn't buy this for the "Family Story". I agree with other reviewers that the "poetry" is terrible, the story itself would be better if it was just told without trying to rhyme. From a Christian standpoint, I did't like the story. Although there is an Angel, the story has NOTHING to do with CHRISTmas. It may represent the unseen battles as stated in Eph.6:12. Aside from that, I enjoyed listening to the music and the talking didn't bother me, it was actually soothing to hear the voice even when I wasn't actually listening to the story. My guess is, if you like the group and only want to hear their music, this isn't the CD to buy. Otherwise its okay.

An Utter Waste of Money!.......2005-01-11

I've always enjoyed Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas stuff, and so bought this when it first came out. Wish I hadn't! I like the Steamroller for its music, not constant talking and storybook nonsense. "Carol of the Bells" and "Greensleeves" were great, but they're featured on another CD. I found the melody to "Above the Northern Lights" somewhat intriguing, but had to listen to Olivia Newton-John talking, and the music was strictly background. If one can listen to samples first, do so, then think about buying this drivel!

Wish I had read the reviews--this is simply awful!.......2004-12-10

The title should say it all. Avoid this awful product at all costs. Didn't anyone look at this poem and say "This is an awful poem, Chip!"??? I wish I could get my money back, because it seems a pretty clear case of false advertising to put the Mannheim Steamroller name--which generally means high quality--on this awful thing. Please don't use your money to support bad poetry (and I'm being generous calling it "poetry").
