All in all, this is a great album - but there are a couple of critiques - namely the fact that no, there aren't any Hanukkah songs. The second critique is that at 28 minutes, it's over pretty soon.

The Christmas song by the Ravenettes is a pretty little starter; Last Christmas is a great cover of the Wham cover by Jimmy Eat World. Just like Christmas is soulful, poignant song about travelling. I thought Christmas is Going to the Dogs was kind of hoaky and annoying (by the Eels), but the Ron Sexsmith and Leona Naess songs at the end got this CD back in my good books.

Still, it's a nice shift from most of the pop junk out there. For someone who doesn't enjoy Mariah Carey singing about what she wants for Christmas, but would like a few modern songs to mix in with the traditional stuff, this is the best modern Christmas CD I've found yet.

Also, the CD has a CD-Rom feature that links you to a website where you can watch clips from the show and hear people talking about the music. While the Christmas clips weren't up yet, it's probably just because the episode hasn't aired yet.

Well good CD. As a casual observer of the show (my wife loves it) I found my feet tapping to both Chrismakkuh shows, and the CD lets you take a slice home with you.

But there was a notable omission that I had to go looking for. It is performed/named "Guster - Carol of Meows". No Chrismakkuh should be without this song, and it was a great let down that it wasn't included.

If your looking for a non-traditional Christmas album, then this is a CD for you. I have always had a wide variety for music, but have never really been a huge rock fan. I loved this CD from the minute I popped it in, I knew I could listen to this music over and over and put a different spin on things. I actually felt inspired and pumped up by this music. For someone who usually prefers traditional, I just might start a new christmas trend. I do like The O.C. but you don't have to be an O.C. Fan to enjoy this CD. Enjoy!

Okay,at a mere 28 minutes long,this album is easy to criticize.However,that excepted,this is still a good album.It's charming and conjures up happy holiday thoughts.I think it's worth it just for the song "Maybe this Christmas".

I have enjoyed the two other Mixes but this one is a little boring. I just bought "Maybe This Christmas Tree," which has Death Cab For Cutie, Polyphonic Spree, Raveonettes, Pedro The Lion yadda yadda and I just think that holiday cd is much better.

Great music. Classic songs. Love this album. Would make a great Chrismukkah present. That's what I'm using it for anyway. :)

I love this CD plus I had to get it only because I love the OC.. BUT this cd has holiday songs but it isnt so happy and soppy as the others.. they actually are pretty rock and roll kind its awesome.

With the exception of Jimmy Eat World's "Last Christmas", which is quite fun, this album is pretty boring.

This compilation could be much cooler -- if it lived up to it's name. Instead, there is only one Hanukka song on the whole thing -- which is very weak if you ask this 1/2Christian 1/2 Jew

Way to be LAZY, whomever put this comp. together is lame and didn't do their homework -- there are plenty of great Jewish songs to cover, and plenty of Jewish Indie-Rock people to cover them -- ask Ben Kweller to name a few!

if u love christmas as much as i do which is a whole lot and you love the music from mixes one and two you'll love this one its pretty much the same vibe as mixes one and two just christmas which is awsome...i was a little disappointed that its only a 8 track cd but oh well its still worth it...check it out.
