1.0 out of 5 stars Whoa!....Wait just a minute! This set is 2X the price of individual ones....almost!, December 10, 2008

Order each CD individually, please! This doesn't make economic sense. Don't go blindly down the path of Amazon. This price must have been concocted prior to the agent having his/her morning coffee! Only as long as this "Gold Box" deal lasts today is this particular deal even worth considering.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT A GOOD BUY, December 10, 2008

This review is from: A Very Special Christmas Collection (Audio CD)

Do the math. It's cheaper to buy them individually,
and quite frankly, a lot of the material on these has already started to sound very very dated.

This review is from: A Very Special Christmas Collection (Audio CD)

Remember, this was the year people were freaking out about the mythical Y2K "problem" and buying canned food and generators. Most of these songs are so awful that the crummy "Xmas Music Only" stations dont even play them.

I have three of the five, I got them at the DOLLAR STORE. Yes, the DOLLAR STORE last year and they weren't even "cut outs". I can't even find the CDs now, and I don't even care to look for them. The used CD place wont even take them in trade at a penny.
