Product: Elvis Christmas (The Yule Log DVD) (2010)
Rating: 5.0
Dvd not essential, but looks and sounds good...
Just to let you know what you're getting with this dvd, it's pretty straightforward: Elvis' classic 1957 Christmas album transferred to dvd with 3 variable visuals of Christmas scenes (closeup of a burning fireplace, a room scene holiday-decorated with a tree and the fireplace in the background, and an outdoor wintery scene of snow falling on a cottage). The scenes can be changed with the "angle" feature on your dvd remote. You can also watch the burning fireplace on its own with its natural sounds if you prefer, it lasts about a half hour but auto-repeats itself. As for the album itself, it sounds excellent, it's not remixed into 5.1 Dolby or anything like that but it wasn't expected to be anyways. If you own the music on cd already this isn't particularly a necessary purchase; these days it's not hard to find a tv channel at Christmas time that'll show a yule log burning and you can play your own music. But taken for what it is, it's not a bad way to enjoy Elvis' Christmas album, which itself is essential.
