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!!

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)

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.

To me, the Oak Ridge Boys' first Christmas album will always be the best, but that doesn't mean the others, including "Christmas Cookies" aren't great as well. Like the previous Christmas albums, this one has a mix of old favorites and original songs. The Oaks do their usual incredible job with the classics, like "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" and "Away In A Manger", but the stand out tracks are the original songs. "From Love to Love" is quite possibly the best track on the disc, and tells of three different situations where a child goes from one love to another. The last verse of this song never fails to give me chills (in a good way). "Ordinary Days" is another great song that reminds us that our ordinary days are extraordinary to some people and should not be taken for granted. This song is a great song to listen to all year round, not just at Christmas.

If you enjoyed any of the Oaks' previous Christmas releases, you'll enjoy "Christmas Cookies". If you've never heard an Oaks' Christmas album, try this one out, then take a look at the other four. They all contain some of the best sounding Christmas music out there.

The Oak Ridge Boys continue to get better and better and this Christmas CD shows they've still got it! There are some traditional Christmas carols and lots of new songs. The harmony is wonderful and there are solos from each of them. It's February and I'm still playing it in my car!

I ordered this CD because of the song Christmas Cookies but was delighted with all the songs on the album. It will be one we listen to at holidays in the future. I think anyone listing to the song Christmas Cookies can relate to it. I was also surprised to find a recipe included for Jan's Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies. Will be trying it soon. Add this CD to your Christmas listening.

I wanted this cd after hearing "Uncle Luther Made the Stuffing" on radio. It is such a cute song. The other songs are a good mix of traditional and original. The Oaks do a great job on everything they sing. Love it!

This CD is fantastic. I love the Christmas Cookies song, and Uncle Luther Made the Stuffing is hilariously true. Of course, I am a long time fan of the Oaks, but they sound so good together even a newcomer would find themselves listening repeatedly.

I heard Christmas Cookies on my XM radio, and wanted to buy a fun CD for the holidays. I fell in love with this CD ! I'm usually not a big country fan, but this is my all time favorite Christmas CD. It's the middle of January and I'm still playing it in my car. From the title song, Christmas Cookies to Uncle Luther made the stuffin..I love it !!!!

I really enjoyed The Oak Ridge Boys Christmas Album from a few years ago, but this one just did not measure up. I bought it for my mom as a Christmas present and she agrees with me
