I was looking for a karaoke DVD that plays the music, shows the words, and that would allow a gathering to sing Christmas Carols.
What you get with this is some classic Christmas tunes, but they don't omit the singing. They give you the words (on all but one song, which they expect you to know already) and some of the words are a little surprising. You'll probably run to the internet once or twice to see if the words you thought you knew were correct or if this DVD was correct. Anyway, it's basically sing-along with the singers on the TV.
It wasn't a big hit.
The extras were very entertaining, because included in the extras is a really old short movie with a Christmas theme. Very dated, and I'm guessing roughly 60-70 years old, and that makes it that much better. One of the kids gets jacked when he figures out he's getting a sled.
I know if my kid got a sled and nothing else for Christmas, he'd probably end up bawling, running to his room, and slamming the door. That's Christmas! Buy them just enough gifts so they aren't pissed and disappointed, and throw a great one in there so they get excited when they open it.
If you're looking for a DVD that has about 50 songs with the background music and no singing, with words and bouncing ball, and songs spanning the religious and unreligious (First Noel to Rudolph), then move on, as there's nothing to see here.
