Summary: Wonderful addition to the Baby Einstein library!
Review: When I heard this was being produced, I could hardly wait for it to come out! It certainly did not disappoint. Of the Baby Einstein series, our 9-month-old seems most interested in Baby Mozart, and after several days of watching Baby Santa's Music Box, she seems just as interested in this one. It holds her attention longer than Baby Einstein, Bach, or Shakespeare (we haven't yet tried Van Gogh). There's a good balance of color, movement, and live action, and the music is varied and fun. It's also just plain festive, and I'm sure we'll play it often as the Christmas season begins.

Review: They've done it again folks - 23 minutes of movie in an 81 minute production.As a public service, let me tell you what else you're getting for your money: Three collections of Christmas Music with no video, mostly just parts of the songs. (you already have most of them on CD anyway) A general "How to watch baby Einstein with your kids guide" A link to where you can buy all the stuff shown. As for the video part itself, it is undoubtably very entertaining for the 1 month to 18 month group, but not stimulating enough for older children, unless they just like the music. (in which case you can put on a CD) There are lots of brightly coloured ornaments, and a real cool train, and Santa dolls, and the cutest collection of kids ever cast in a Baby Einstein production. (It's a bit heavy on the Aigner-Clark kids, but hey - she's the boss after all, so no complaining) Unfortunately, almost one third of the scant 23 minutes comprises a white glove shutting the lid of a green box (with the host reundeer puppet inside), to signify the end of a segment. There are a lot of very brief segments for real short attention spans, and while some slow music pieces run on for a bit longer, the more unusual segments like the Japanese mobile are cut in mid flow. Every child loves to see animals, so, to keep the interest, they borrowed some unused clips from the Baby Doolittle videos, and threw in some animal footage. The puppets are very untidy citizens in this one. They throw tinsel around, and the gingerbread man piece had even my son saying "Yuch - Messy!" If you have kids less than 18 months old, I'd say "go for it" this Christmas to get them in the spirit, if your kids are older, put on some cd's and have a sing along.

Summary: My kids love it
Review: As always, when reviewing Baby Einstein products, I have to make a distinction between what I think and what my kids (now age 20 months) think. Other reviewers have mentioned that it's short, and that they might have picked different songs. I agree, from my own point of view, but my kids are transfixed by this video and absolutely love it. They are at the "word explosion" stage of development right now, so love pointing out all the snow, horses, trains, etc. While I might have liked different songs, they bop to the ones that are here with no problem. For whatever reason, the Toys 'R Us that I went to had only the VHS version. All my other Baby Einstein products are on DVD, and I have to say that I would much prefer the DVD version. The tape that we bought has some skips, and the quality just isn't the same - and I guess I'm not used to having to rewind things anymore... All in all, again from the toddler point of view, another successful video from Baby Einstein.

Summary: Just not the same as the others
Review: Unfortunately, Baby Santa's Music Box does not appeal to my nine month old son. He loves Baby Mozart, Baby Einstein and Baby Bach, and has even taken to Baby Shakespeare despite its claim to be for toddlers. With Baby Santa, the formula has changed slightly. It contains more children shots, and less of the repetitive action shots that keep babies entranced. The video may be appealing to adults because the children bits are very cute and the music nostalgic (traditional tunes and parts of the Nutcracker!), but these concepts are lost on the infant because he does not have the context in which to place them. Although I applaud the concept and the attempt, I would have to say I cannot recommend this video, at least for childen under one year. Perhaps an older child might see more merit in it. Beyond this, I would still recommend any of the other Baby Einstein Company videos.

Summary: Bah Humbug!
Review: I couldn't wait for the holiday season to arrive so that I could play this DVD for my son. He loves the other DVDs in the series, especially Baby Neptune and Baby Galileo. Baby Santa's Music Box on the other hand, is not so well liked...not by my son, my nephews, or myself. In my opinion, it just doesn't seem to live up to it's potential. Think of all the wonderful, amazing, and magical things that go along with Christmas and the holiday season - alot of it is missing from this DVD. Sure, there are some things included that pertain to Christmas on this DVD, but there could have been so much more. To me, most of this DVD looks like just a bunch of random images thrown in to fill up the time. How many times did they really need to have that reindeer puppet pop in and out of gift box? How many irrelevant scenes were included so that Julie Clark's kids could play a part? This DVD could have been so much more, but it misses the mark by a long shot. Don't even get me started on the music. Of all the beautiful Christmas songs available, both secular and non-secular, they could have had a much better selection to say the least. In general, I am sorry I wasted my money on this DVD. Who knows, maybe my next child will want to sit through it.

Summary: Fun Christmas Video
Review: This is my Daughter's favorite. She can't get enough of it. Everytime she watches it I would swear it was for the first time. She loves the kids and ornaments and can't get enough of the reindeer puppet (it's her favorite). The music is fun and gets the whole family excited about the Holidays.

Summary: Nice addition to our Baby Einstein collection...
Review: I recently purchased Baby Santa's Music Box, due to my son's infatuation with Christmas carols. He loves the sparkling segments and the shots of children dancing, sledding and building snowmen. Although I, personally, prefer Baby Bach or Baby Mozart, my child loves this one just the same. A nice addition to any preschooler's DVD library.

Review: My daughter loves this dvd ever since she was a newborn. She is just mesmerized by this. I personally can't figure what it is but to date she's still watches it. She's 2 1/2 now & she just puts it into the dvd player herself & can watch it over & over again. Be prepared to buy another tv & dvd player.

Summary: This is the only Baby Einstein video that bored my son.
Review: My youngest was 16 months old this past Christmas. We were at my in-laws house, along with my 19 month old nephew. My mother in law turned this video on for them. They both watched all of 3 minutes of it before walking away. This coming from 2 boys who can watch every other video in the series a million times in a row and not lose interest.
