I seem obviously something out of the ordinary ... I have the CD this year bought Christmas because I grew up with the record "Christmas in Family" and this hearing even today like (CD). Unfortunately I like "Merry Christmas" in family not soooooo good ... I think that the songs are partly moody (without the nasty to my) and the children's songs are not so beautiful, such as "Hey You Santa Claus". I find that one can hear better this CD here if you want to spend time not so happy, but rather very quiet Christmas moments ... for children I think the other CD better. But of course this is a matter of taste and everyone must decide for himself - personally I'm not going to keep the Cd however; -
