When I bought this CD I thought I was getting a comedy stand-up routine about the Christmas Holidays. Instead, these are songs that Bill Engvall co-wrote but are sung in a country/western style by studio musicians that you've never heard of. Bill introduces each song and then someone else sings them. Sometimes Bill will talk some of his comedy in the middle of the songs. Is it funny? I think it's OK. I was disappointed in the format. I thought it would be more like Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck 12 Days Of Christmas but it's more like Bob Rivers Twisted Christmas.

I must say, this isn't quite what I expected out of Bill Engvall for a Christmas album. I expected wall-to-wall chuckles, but the songs he's put together for this release are an interesting mixture of comedy and genuine, sweetly emotional tunes like "The Christmas Sign." It's different from his usual work and different than most Christmas albums as well -- well worth it for his fans, as long as they know what they're getting.

This CD features Bill Engvall introducing comedy songs that he wrote, which are sung by other people. Engvall sometimes does spoken parts during the songs. It's not all that funny (to me anyway).

THIS CD WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED, WAS LOOKING FOR MORE SONGS DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS MORE ON A TALKING CD

I bought this album on Rhapsody and thought it was pretty good. Comedians can't be funny all the time. I appreciate that he is real on this CD and his ancedotes remind me of some past Christmases of my own. My favorite song of all is I'm Getting Sued By Santa Claus. Very catchy. I think this album is well worth purchasing, especially if you recognize that sometimes people don't have to tell jokes to be funny.

We love Bill Engvall's comedy and heard a few of his bits off this cd but the entire cd is a repeat over and over again. Not that funny. Really only 2 small pieces on this were worth the money or maybe not. Don't waste your money.

Hello everyone. I was the one that wrote the first and only review for this CD and didn't relize until I looked at it today that I made a mistake in my review. This is what I had:

As a fan of Mr. Bill Engvall, I am upset with the release of this. It is exactly the same as his other Christmas CD except for that it has a few extras that are worth buying this again for. Why did they even bother putting it out? Was it so that Mr. Engvall could make some more money? Take it from this disappointed fan, DON'T BUY THIS AS IT IS NOTHING BUT A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY (UNLESS YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO LIKES TO FOR A COUPLE OF MEANINGLESS EXTRAS).

Sorry for an confussion that this may have cause and I hope everyone has a happy holiday season.

This is a very good album from one of the best comics around.
not as funny as the others though.

Hi folks

Some of the songs are fun. I happen to find Bill Engval very funny. However, my problem with the album is that he talks before each song, ruining the mood of silliness. I went into the album with Amadeus, and edited out all of his talking and re burned it & then it played better. I'd suggest that for anyone interested in buying this album.
Happy New Year! I hope that 2010 is a better one than 2009 was!
Stay well everyone!

This CD is a must for Bill Engvall fans. It has a realistic, modern view to what Christmas is turning into.
