This is a Christmas album by alt-country group 5 Chinese Brothers (they aren't really Chinese and they aren't really brothers, but there really are five of them). The album features all original Christmas songs, other than a very brief instrumental version of "O Little Town of Bethlehem". The songs are all really good. They are alternately touching and humorous. They cover such subjects as singing, the 3 Wise Men, depression, Playboy magazine, absentee fathers, truckers, fruitcake and department store Santas. Very original and very entertaining. "The Fruitcake Song" ranks up there with the all-time great Christmas songs (really). The whole album is great and I highly recommend it.

This YULEtide Treasure Chest is stuffed full with Orignality Gems, which is more than fine by me. Unfortunately few modern-mirth-makers are ambitious enough to songsmith a mix of various lyrical themes,vocal stylizing,widely inclusive instrumentation and genere representation while crafting in The Merry.This disc once agains proves that word of mouth and talent laiden quaking quality can keep a seasonal seigh sack of songs forever upon wish lists to Santa.~~Merrily Mix~~ 1#1\2 , 2$ , 3# , 4$ , 5# , 6$ , 8% , 9$ , 10$ , 11#1\2, and 12# ~~Post Script: Lets only hope all the O`Amazonians seize the opportunity and drive the # sold, in the past this disc never got it`s national due.
