M. Spencer: One of my reason for purchasing this book was the promised videos. So far this is a broken promise.

Ian Day: Too many of the songs had nothing to do with the birth of Jesus.
Helpful as a uke teaching book

Larry lamb: This book is easy to understand and give you the ability to strum along to known Christmas tunes.
I didn't know all of the tunes which was a shame - not all UK traditional songs.
Also in some cases chord choices (in my opinion) didn't really work perhaps this was because it is supposed to be a beginner book.

Salty Waters: Some song books are in chords too high for anyone to sing except for sopranos and tenors. This one is much more user friendly for group sing. It is organized according to the number of chords needed, i.e. 2 chords, 3 chords, etc.
The most annoying part is too many pages dedicated to instruction and other stuff most players will not need or will seek that elsewhere. More songs could otherwise be included.

KM: This is a great little ebook. It is suitable for the raw beginner who started playing a week ago, but they will probably pull it out next Christmas too. The songs are arranged in order of difficulty with the authors teaching you a new chord or two as you progress. The song selection is very good (unlike the authors' first "6 Days" book). The videos (confusing to sign up for but free with purchase) are charmingly amateurish in a way that makes me think "I can do it too". It never occurred to me that finger-picking could be a beginner technique and I really appreciate the authors' including instructions for it.

review: I finished a dissertation recently (this will be relevant).
To get through that process, I had to learn lots and lots of facts simply to demonstrate that I learned them -- because it was supposedly good for me or proved that I was an accomplished student.
When I got done, I wanted to do something for FUN. This book is fun in part because you play real songs right off the bat. It's also fun because you learn from real people who seem like they could live next door. The tone of the writing in the book and also the videos that you can watch (and more importantly, play along with, which is the whole point) are polished but not so perfectionistic as to feel remote.
I have picked up a number of instruments over the years and was "taught" piano as a child by a relative who is a piano teacher. I have often used Hal Leonard method books (guitar method, piano method, ukulele method, etc.) and sometimes Mel Bay or other titles. They feel official and one puts in time learning the mechanics of something. It's not that I mean to make light of that because I have learned SOMETHING (I think) from books of that type. Still, it feels a bit as though I have to pay my dues or somehow suffer...
