Wish I had read the reviews before buying this CD. It is too short (a couple of tracks are less than 2 minutes). The CD is mostly Grinch related and the rest are weird.
Donate to a worthy charity instead of buying this! November 15, 2008

What a disgusting waste of time and money. I sincerely hope no one gave up their day jobs. No more Mannheim Steamroller until they give us what we expect for our good earned money.

OK , I admit I bought this without an preview because I basically have loved for the most part all their earlier releases. Or maybe I was caught up in the "gee its Nov 1, it's time to start adding to my Christmas catalog. The official Amazon review makes me suspect the reviewer is paid for not listening to the actual cds? but to transcribe fiction.Even being generous or die hard fans will be hard pressed to enjoy this. Am I voicing my dissatisfaction just to trash Steamroller?, no I really love their music but this just falls short in so many ways.
Buy their Christmas box set or any earlier cds and you will be pleased. Just stay away from this one. And one last pet peeve, Buy the original soundtrack to the Jim Carry/ Ron Howard movie and you will be very pleased. The versions here of songs from the movie are horrible. maybe Chip Davis should of saved these for their Halloween Vol. three release. Nuff said
Not traditional Mannheim Steamroller--Buyer Beware! October 29, 2008

Having purchased Mannheim Steamroller since the original Fresh Aire series on record albums of the '70s--I probably have every Chip Davis creation since. THIS album entitled "Christmasville" should NOT have been produced and sold under the "Mannheim Steamroller" name. Call this effort "Chip Davis' Singing Christmas" or "Chip Davis at Christmasville"; but to have labeled this uncharacteristic collection of non-instrumental music under the traditional Mannheim Steamroller brand is a serious if not dishonest misrepresentation.
Try to defend this effort if you want, using whatever twisted logic you chose, but this Christmasville Album was horrible. It was as if I had purchased what was traditionally a bottle of fine wine from a classic winery packaged in a manner that I had trusted over many years, to shockingly discover "Mannheim 2008" was a sickenly bitter lemonade instead. Buyer Beware! Chip Davis has sadly lost his way.
