- December
I am an avid Moody Blues fan and bought this album last Christmas. I have since bought another copy for my wife. Like many other fans, I wasn't sure just how they would handle Christmas songs but I needn't have worried. They give every song their own unique, professional treatment and have such restful voices. I love this album and particularly December Snow, which I would rate as good as any track they have ever done (yes, as good as that!) If you like the Mooody Blues, or even if you are just looking for a good Christmas album, buy this! I couldn't believe how cheaply it was purchased from Amazon and I rarely stop playing it during the season.

- Hayward and Lodge hit rock bottom
For a band that made a string of wonderful, classic albums in the late sixties and early seventies, and some pretty good stuff subsequently, this release shows how far they have lost their way. While the sound quality is sparkling, of the few original songs, only Justin Hayward's December Snow is worthy of inclusion on a Moody Blues album. The other originals are poor outtakes from Strange Times. As for the rest, who needs it? Happy Christmas (War is Over) is a pale imitation of the original and White Christmas is a dire caberet remake of a great song. This album is truly awful - and I have every Moody Blues album and have seen them more than 30 times over four decades. As for Ballads, the compilation December was paired with in the UK ...

- Beautiful, melodic, soft... to light up any Christmas
I read a number of favourable reviews of this CD, and took the plunge... what with my being a passing Moodies fan over the years and a lover of Christmas to boot. And I was SO glad I did.

If you like melodic music with strong vocals, a lush sound and well produced, then this album is for you, standing up very highly to much of their previous work over the years. Any fans of artists like The Electric Light Orchestra, Alan Parsons, Paul McCartney, The Bee Gees and the like is sure to get alot from this collection.

The opener 'Don't Need a Reindeer' canters along joyfully, and for me is the standout track -- that is, I was humming it all season long. 'December Snow' goes into ballad mode, beautifully and heartfully sung by ... Read More:

- A beautiful album
Having taken the plunge and bought this, I found that I had to keep playing it!

Just relax and listen to some new songs, some standards and to some you liked by somebody else but have never bought.

- Moodies Christmas Presence
The Moody Blues with the release of December have put forth a Christmas album that stands up there with the best.The subject matter is not only of Christmas but of Winter and marks a return to the concept or theme,done so well by the Moodies in the past . My favourite tracks are ''December Snow'', ''In The Bleak Mid Winter'' and ''Winters Tale''. I noted that a previous reviewer had stated that December was not a ''Power to Believe'' by King Crimson, or a ''Magnification'' by Yes. It is'nt a ''Sonic Origami'' by Uriah Heap or a ''15 Minutes'' by Nik Kershaw either ( I have all of these )BUT December does not need to be.The important thing for me is that I can sit down and relax in front of a warm fire with a warming drink. Dim the lights, look ... Read More:
