This review is from: 1940's Christmas (Audio CD)

I am fully addicted to these CD's...old holiday favorites complimented by some great vintage tunes I had not heard before! It is all at once festive, uplifting, charming and nostalgic. I look forward to listening to it all year through.

This review is from: 1940's Christmas (Audio CD)

I work in a nursing home on the Alzheimer and Demenia unit. This year was odd because of various religions objecting to others. We did our best to keep the holiday spirit to what the folks remembered or could relate to yet kept music toned down to respect family wishes. This CD was played a lot! The tunes were familiar enough that folks that can't tell you their children's names, or even their own names, could sing along or hum these tunes. We have a new woman that is blind and is adjusting to location of walls compared to her house - she wanders a lot - we put this CD on and she stayed put and sang along with every tune, smiling. Don't know how this review will help unless you work with senior, or if you are of a faith that is not Christian based and need a realistic semi Christmas CD, this is your best bet. Fabulous. In fact, we had a Winter Solestic Party and used most of this CD because the tunes were familar, decent quality, done by known voices and performers. Excellent. As a foot note, I am in my late 40's and enjoy playing this CD because it reminds me of being small at Christmas time and the songs my parents played.
