Summary: Definately a Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas
Review: My son and I love to watch and dance around to this DVD (and the CD as well). I think that this video is jam-packed with both energetic and soothing Wiggly music like "Unto Us, This Holy Night," "It's a Christmas Party on the Good Ship Feathersword," and the classic "Silent Night." This DVD brings loads of Christmas spirit into my home.

Summary: A musical holiday treat for kids.
Review: Our 2 year old is a big Wiggles fan. We own all 4 of the wiggles tapes - recently purchasing this one. Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas, like the other Wiggles tapes, contains the upbeat songs and silly dances that have become the Wiggles trademark. The songs are a mixture of Christmas classics and original songs. Like all of the Wiggles tapes, this one ends with a live, on-stage performance where they sing many of the songs on the tape in a medley.I only have a few criticisms of the tape. It appears as thought this tape was put together rather hastily. Most of the sets are nothing more than painted cardboard. Some of the songs are repeats from other Wiggles tapes, but the words have been changed to give them a Christmas theme. My only other critique is that a few songs are just a little slow to hold a young toddler's attention. (such as Silent Night, Away in a Manger). While these are Christmas classics, they depart of the traditional Wiggles theme of having fast, upbeat tempo songs. Our daughter loves it when the Wiggles dance and act silly. She loses interest when they are just a bunch of guys singing and nodding their heads in time to the music. Do these criticism mean that you should avoid this tape. Absolutely not! This is a wonderful tape for toddlers. It's fun. It encourages kids to get up and dance rather than sit passively. It's full of holiday spirit and will introduce your child to many classic Christmas songs. This, like all of the Wiggles tapes, will become one of your child's favorites. Another nice feature of this tape is that it comes in a sturdy plastic clamshell case. Not the cheap cardboard cover that many Children's tapes come in.

Summary: Finally, videos that kids love and daddys can dance to
Review: Our two and a half year old loved Barney, Elmo and Snow White until the Wiggles came along. Now it's like Barney never existed. The Wiggles are a Godsend to parents - fun, not condesending to kids, and captivating. Best of all, when the kids want to watch this one over and over, you don't go nuts. They're kind of like the Beatles for three-year olds. ...

Summary: Low Budget Yet High Spirited Fun
Review: The Amazon.com review accurately conveys the zest that The Wiggles and their elvish dancers bring to 19 musical numbers. The precise dancing by the pint-sized kids surrounding the band is particularly impressive. Our two young daughters try to sing and dance like the kids on screen. Six of the songs are traditional carols, and the rest are 'new' songs that all have catchy melodies. The Wiggles appear before seemingly flimsy cardboard sets, and the production is not slick; nevertheless, the colorful sets lend a simple charm to the effort, much like a school Christmas pageant. The pacing is good -- several slow songs (like 'Away in the Manger' and 'Silent Night') set up the impact of fast numbers that follow. The Bethlehem manger scene is depicted and one of the Wiggles discusses the holiday's meaning with children. While one or two other Wiggles videos might be this show's equal, none has surpassed the festive fun and moments of heartfelt warmth that 'Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas' offers.

Review: The Wiggles are the best kid's entertainment to be found. This video, as well as all of the others, as well as their cd's, books, etc. are all fabulous. Mom comes to school and teaches the songs to our friends and we all love them. Get all your friends into The Wiggles. They are AWESOME

Summary: It's a Wiggly Christmas!! (all year long....)
Review: The Wiggles celebrate Christmas with lots of entertaining original and traditional songs. While it may not be one of my personal favorites, my 3-year-old just loves it and we watch this dvd all year long. While we are not regular church-goers, I love the fact that this dvd does not shy away from what Christmas is all about. While most of the songs are Santa-related, there are a few standards such as "Away in a Manger" and "Silent Night" that creep in there as well. My toddler has a harder time sitting through the slower songs, but we sing them together and that makes it more fun. For the most part, the songs are what we have come to expect from the Wiggles - upbeat and lots of fun. My only complaint is that the Wiggles should have checked their spelling before releasing this dvd - it's "Feliz" not "Felice".... :)

Summary: Christmas Wiggling
Review: The Wiggles strikes again!! Our family owns the previous 3 videos from The Wiggles, and like the other 3 videos, this adds to our 2 year olds list of favorites. This video contains many of the traditional Christmas songs, which was a great way to intoduce them to her; Jingle Bells, Feliz Navidad, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and she sings along and dances to ALL OF THEM! Her favorite is the Nativity Play where the children are dressed up as they nod their heads to a simple tune. She loves dressing up as Mother Mary and plays along with them! You can't go wrong with this video...your family and toddler will love it. I find myself singing to the songs!

Summary: Wiggles score again!
Review: The Wiggles: Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas is another winner from a great group. My 2 1/2 year old granddaughter loved it. It contains a mixture of old favorites and new Christmas songs. They include characters from the other videos, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dogs, and Henry the Octopus. Some children from snowy climates may wonder why they go on a picnic on the beach for Christmas, but it will be good for southern climate children. (Remember Australia-home of the Wiggles has Christmas during their summer months) I'd buy it again!
