5.0 out of 5 stars A must have book from ages 1 to 100!!!!, October 30, 2005

By	S. Elkins (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book for my kids but the adults in the family are still passing it around. This is a book that will be loved by ALL. I laughed so hard the first time I read it I was in tears. It takes all of the Christmas songs we know and love and makes them into spoofs about the holidays we can all relate to told from the view point of the kids. From going to the mall to hanging the lights to caroling theres something in this book for everyone!
A must have for anyones holiday collection!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Alan Katz is a genius!!, November 14, 2005

By	IBATVMC - See all my reviews

We have every one of Alan Katz's "silly dilly" song books, and we have worn them out. He gave life to lots of old stand-by songs, and now he's done the same to Christmas. I can't tell you the number of nights I've laid in bed with my son singing Katz's adorable, and hysterical new lyrics. If you're not a "silly-dilly" devotee yet, it's never too late to start. Don't have kids without it!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like to sing this one's for you!, January 9, 2007

By	E. Snape "book reading mom" (Bright, IN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book met all of my expectations and then some. My boys are both singers and we all read through this together. Our favorite - "At the Mall" sang to the tune of "Deck the Halls" If you like to laugh and sing or one or the other, buy this book!
