Bought it as a Christmas present for my wife (she has been an Aardman groupie for years if you can believe that) - but I found Creature Comforts Merry Christmas Everybody is included in Creature Comforts The Complete Second Season, so don't buy both. I unfortunately did buy both, so one of my kids gets this as a stocking stuffer.

(I keep trying to rate this thing as 5 stars, but the rating is changed apparetly at random when I prereview the review. I am getting tired of fighting with this review so I am about to let it go the way it turns up. Bare that in mind if the rating turns up less than 5. Always remember, "Computers are things of the devil. And the smaller they are, the closer to the heart of hell they come from.")

If you are a fan of Nick Park's Creature Comforts you will probably NOT want to buy this, it is already on the SEASON 2 DVD SET! This special is wonderful, but only those non fans looking for holiday DVDs should consider this DVD release!

The Creature Comforts gang does a Christmas special. Interest puns and high jinx. As enjoyable and the series.

I bought this dvd for my granddaughter. Ha!Ha! It was I who loved this little story. I think maybe these characters were created for the adults with young folks as an afterthought. Lovely dvd.

What a hilarious English tongue-in-cheek look at Christmas and specifically the "Twelve Days of Christmas" song. The characters are exceedingly funny as none of the Aardeman Creature Comforts characters seem to get the knack of singing this favorite holiday song. And the debate rages on, "Why FRENCH hens?", "Wear a Christmas cracker hat or no?", "What indecent thing are the two turtle doves doing together anyway?", "Is that the Queen speaking?", and on and on. Don't expect it to make sense, just sit back and laugh through your enjoyment.

We bought this 3 years ago, and ended up buying several as gifts. A hit as a gift. And now we play it every Christmas, over and over. It lightens the stress of the season, if you have any. Kids will like it, but will miss some of the subtle English humor, but they won't care. And old folks will love it, complete with very helpful subtitles. Lots of accent to get through with these animal characters that seem more human and what they really are supposed to be.

Now the price is low enough to send it as a Christmas Card, and your friends will be able to enjoy your Holiday greeting for at least the Twelve Days of Christmas, even if they can't remember the words, or get them in the correct order, or stay on key, of solve the world crisis problems that are hidden in the meanings of phrases like "5 golden rings" or "the psychological explanations of a partridge in a pear tree."

Silly, and fun, Christmas humor only 24 minutes long. Perfect for a pause each of the 12 days of Christmas, or a surprise just after Christmas dinner for the whole family to enjoy. Who knows, a hamster may even give you clues as to how to handle your own dinner indigestion, but don't count on it.

After 3 years of watching, I'm still laughing from the belly, and recommending this DVD to all.

My kids and I really enjoy Creature Comforts. It is laid-back dry British Humor, the characters and voices together make the creatures endearing. Clean humor. It has no plot to speak of and no action. So if those are important to you, you might not like it.

This DVD is watched multiple times by our family and friends during the holiday season-We never tire of the humorous take on the "Twelve Days of Christmas"- Get it- and enjoy some great laughs-You won't be sorry!~Another fine production by Nick Park-Very well done!

I really love this short movie, and I'm glad I could actually FIND it and for a great price. So, thanks a bunch!
