Summary: Excellent reminder of Andy's Chrtistmas Shows
Review: A thoroughly enjoyable reminder of the Andy Williams Christmas Show.Although these highlights run to slightly under an hour, the extras (which show loads more from the shows) are just as enjoyable. This is the first DVD I have had where I have enjoyed the extras as much as the main program. I would still like to see some complete unedited programs though.

Summary: WONDERFUL Christmas DVD
Review: For anyone who grew up watching the annual Andy Williams Christmas Shows (or his other TV shows)or someone who just loves Christmas music wonderfully sung, this is a MUST HAVE DVD.All the favorite Christmas songs are presented with vocals by Andy, his brothers, the Osmond Brothers and other members of the family (remember the cookie bear? I'd forgotten this fun character until I watched this DVD). It is simply a joyous celebration of Christmas music and holiday fun. The main section of the DVD runs about an hour, then there are great bonus sections running almost another hour - one devoted to the Osmonds that is worth the price of the DVD alone. There is an indepth "Up Close and Personal" interview with Andy himself intercutting songs and other sections of the shows and a section devoted to "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year", a song written for Andy's show that has now become a holiday standard. These special features make this a very special recording. It is also great fun to watch the Osmonds and Andy's own children grow through the various numbers from different years. They just don't show programs like this on TV anymore and this great DVD makes a person wish they did.

Summary: Absolutely wonderful!
Review: Our new Christmas family favorite. This DVD was even better than I hoped! The quality was great ~ clear picture and sound. It was fun to see and hear Andy's stories and the selection of songs and scenes was the best! More, I want more!! My particular favorites were of Andy and his brothers. Their harmonies were beautiful. The special features were great too, especially "up close and personal" and "the Osmonds". I grew up watching and listening to Andy Williams and now my 2 and 4 year olds can enjoy him too. In fact, they love this DVD as much as I do.

Summary: It's the Most Wonderful DVD of the Season!
Review: So many memories of Andy Williams' Christmas Shows were revived! His Christmas Shows were the best! I love the Victorian settings, the all-one-color outfits, and even Andy on skates is fun to watch! The Williams Brothers and Osmond Brothers sing so beautifully together. Would like to see an additional (Volume 2) DVD! The "extra" part was very interesting and entertaining as well! Thank you Mr. Williams for your never-ending Christmas spirit!

Summary: A Christmas feast for the eyes and ears!
Review: The other customer reviews encapsulate nicely the highlights of this DVD which centers on Andy's terrific voice, the harmonies of the Williams Brothers, and the undeniable charm of the Osmond Brothers. The DVD renders the VHS obsolete due to the inclusion of an extra hour's worth of great material, highlighted by extra Osmond Brothers Christmas performances. Andy mentions on the DVD that the Osmonds performed on his variety show an average of ten times per year during the 1960's - a collection of these performances should be released!! A similar VHS tape entitled "Happy Holidays - the best of the Andy Williams Christmas Shows" (shown exclusively on PBS and not commercially available) contains much of this material, although not all. That tape features additional Osmond performances (and unedited) not included anywhere on this DVD - which would constitute the only negative in an otherwise priceless collection of Christmas memories!
