Just when you thought the Oak Ridge Boys were all out of acorns, something whimsical and significant this way comes. These long standing kings of main street country have wrapped up a great little package of holiday merry making that will draw chuckles and occasionally dampen eyes. The title track explains why one guy savors his wife’s Christmas cookies all year long (a fattening recipe for a happy marriage, in other words), and "Uncle Luther Make the Stuffin'" is a good old novelty tune about the family gathered a little too comofrtably for the holiday. Of course they flirt with the maudlin on a few tracks (how can you not at this most sentimental time of the year?). But even those tracks--especially "Ordinary Days" that sounds like a well crafted Jimmy Buffet tune written for a movie version for "Tuesdays with Morrie"--sound right at home next to the Christmas classics like "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Jingle Bells," played here in hoedown time with dobros, guitars and fiddles a-blazing. In the familiar harmonies of the four Ridges, this album will be a welcome addition in their fans’ collection. For everyone else, it will come as a mild and satisfying revelation. --Martin Keller

5.0 out of 5 stars Another ALL NEW & ALL GREAT one from the Oaks!, November 4, 2005

By	M. Naito "Doc" (Tallahassee) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

O.K., I'm starting Christmas early this year. I've got CHRISTMAS COOKIES loaded in my 6-CD player in my truck and played it all the way from Atlanta to Florida after the recent NASCAR race. When I stopped for fuel, and left my door open, this CD playing ... I got lots of smiles. And managed to tell a few of those folks that this was simply the best new Christmas album I'd heard in years. Richard Sterban's lead vocal on "I'll Be Home For Christmas" is just AWESOME ... no other word would fit! As a former Tennessee girl myself, I'm also partial to "Back To Tennessee." And "Uncle Luther Made the Stuffin'" and "Christmas Cookies" are perfect for new Christmas "standard must-haves." When I returned from Paris, France a few years ago in early January, I turned my car on at the airport and an earlier Oaks Christmas album greated me! It was the finest welcome home I could have had. Now, this new album means I can have an even warmer greeting ALL HOLIDAY season LONG! Thankya, thankya, Boys!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A most Merry Christmas !, January 18, 2007

By	Larry M. Gibson (Commerce, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Oak Ridge Boys really know how to warm the heart. Over 15 years ago I had one of their Christmas cassettes and made copies for our girls. Over time the tapes wore out and each year the girls would sing those songs from memory and recall how great that music was. Everyone thought back to those trips to the grandparents each year listening to those heartwarming tunes. I was able to recreate those memories through Amazon and obtain that "old" music on CD, AND got thier latest Christmas works this past Christmas, now life for our kids who are now grown up may enjoy those "new" memories for many more Christmases to come ! Thanks Amazon ! Larry G. (Georgia)

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Cookies, I love it. , December 8, 2005

By	R. Young (Tiffin, Oh.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am not a big Christmas CD buyer. The Oak Ridge Boy Christmas Cookie CD is top notch. The Oaks band, is also at the top of the chart for their back up. I love it. Best CD I have bought in many months. I would recommend this CD for any and all country fans. Boys you got a winner.
