Customer Reviews:

For those with a love/hate relationship with the holidays.......2006-12-24

If you aren't quite ready to write off the holidays completely but are becoming a bit cynical about how the holidays are "celebrated" in a consumerism driven society, then you need this CD. Upbeat yet thought provoking

Different, Light, and Funny.......2004-11-30

The songs are original. The music is nice to listen to, and the lyrics don't require an FCC censor. One of the better make-fun-of-Xmas CD's

I must be missing something.......2004-11-10

I imagine everyone reading this will be clicking on the 'no' button after the 'was this review helpful?' question. I bought this CD with high expectations. I must have read all of the other reviews. I am an avid collector of holiday music of all types and I thought this would be, if not a sure winner, one that could provide a track or two to a holiday mix. Sorry to say that I wasn't that impressed with anything I heard and I haven't played it more than a few times. All of these 5 star reviewers can't be that wrong, so this must just not be my kind of humor.

Amusing look at Christmas.......2004-09-08

Like all comic albums, your appreciation of it will depend on your sense of humor but I suspect that most people will find plenty to enjoy here. Even the copyright warning is amusing, explaining that unauthorized duplication of this or any other recording produced by starving artists will result in you heading up Santa's naughty list. The sisters (Mary Reynolds and Marilyn Rucker) don't look as if they're starving but you already know from the warning that this is not a serious Christmas album although there is a serious message in some of the comic songs.

Among the comic songs are the title track (about a family who don't get on well together), Christmas in July (wishing for some goodwill in summer), Abraham's lament (about biblical characters looking at how they are celebrated), The twelve days of analysis (about psychiatric therapy), The sweet nutcracker (about a psychiatrist), Happy whatever you're having (season's greetings), Santa's got the blues (about Santa needing therapy), Listless Christmas (about what you want for Christmas), The littlest snowflake (tracing the progress of a snowflake from its arrival on the ground to melting in the sun), Pachelbel's tantrum (another song about a family Christmas), New year's resolutions (about resolutions that are broken) and my favorite, The war of the lights (about rivalry between neighbors).

Apart from the comic songs, there are three others - It must be Christmas (a love song), Christmas boogie and Christmas polka.

If you want music to laugh at during the festive period, this may be just what you're looking for.

I wouldn't go through the holidays without it.......2001-12-04

The other reviewers are right--this album is so good I am buying another one to give as a gift. These women are funny without ever sinking to sick humor. They gently poke fun at everything from disfunctional families to over-spending. There's even a wonderful romantic song, It Must Be Christmas, that you can play for or sing to your sweetheart.

Thank you, Therapy Sisters, for this wonderful gift.
