1.		Vaughan Williams - Hodie; Fantasia on Christmas Carols by Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Price: £4.98 Customer Review: This is a great CD. I had always thought that Hodie, despite great moments of inspiration (such as the marvellously inspiriting conclusion)was a rather inferior score to earlier choral scores like Sancta Civitas and Dona Nobis Pacem, but Hilary Davan Wetton's new Naxos (super-budget) version has... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		The Box of Delights [1984] from 2 Entertain Video Customer Review: This fantastic film is one of the very few DVDs that I would recommend sight-unseen to anyone. If you are a little tired of `It's a Wonderful Life' and `Holiday Inn' then I can't think of anything else which will get you into the Christmas spirit more easily. The Box of delights is one of the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		The Night before Christmas by Various Composers Price: £4.98 Customer Review: I received this CD just before Christmas and was able to `road-test' it in appropriate circumstances (so to speak). Naxos have bucked the trend for increasingly saccharine carol compilations and instead featured Christmas-inspired orchestral pieces. The result is an interesting disc which is sure to... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		A Classic Christmas: the Ultimate Collection of Christmas Classics and Carols from EMI Classics Price: £3.97 Customer Review: This CD is a delight capturing the sparkle and fun of Xmas.

Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on Christmas Carols from Chandos Price: £12.99 Customer Review: This is a truly wonderful recording of the Christmas music of one of the greatest British classical composers of all time Ralph Vaughn Williams performed beautifully by The City Of London Sinfonia under the direction of one of my favourite conductors,Richard Hickox.

6.		The Box of Delights from Egmont Books Ltd Price: £4.79 Customer Review: "The wolves are running" "If you see Someone, tell them Someone is safe"... those phrases have stayed with me ever since I first read this book as a child. (SPOILER) I agree that the very end is a mistake, because Masefield has created such a marvellous world where magic is intermingled with... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		Children's Christmas Classics - Snow Queen/The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe/Box Of Delights by Children's Christmas Classics Price: £9.98 Customer Review: Two out of the three classic children's films are BBC adaptations. The Lion,the witch and the wardrobe is a beautiful adaptation of the C.S Lewis classic.Anyone expecting Hollywood style special effects is going to be very disappointed as like all BBC releases,it's controlled by the budget!!... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		The John Rutter Christmas Album from Collegium Price: £7.98 Customer Review: I thought this CD had got lost in our recent house move and was delighted when it turned up in one the last boxes to be opened. I immediately rushed to listen again even though it is early March and am once again entranced by the warmth and beauty of the music and the singing. You really can play... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Vaughan Williams: Fantasia On Christmas Carols, Hodie from British Composers Price: £6.98 Customer Review: I bought this a couple of years ago and return to it regularly - a sure sign of a good recording. I like the music of Vaughan Williams and this is a good example of his music. The Fantasia was a big surprise - its a lovely setting of some well known carols. John Barrow has a superb baritone voice.... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Orchestral Music for Christmas from EMI Customer Review: Imagine snow on the ground, logs on the fire burning, christmas trees lit up and the cold breath of carol singers singing in the night. The CD is very evokative of Christmas past. Made me reminisant of my childhood (not that long ago). Best ever CD available for Christmas. The Choir (Guildford... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
