Those Wonderful, But ‘Forgotton’ Holiday Classics.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
“Marie Osmond’s Merry Christmas” was Marie Osmond’s first prime-time special since her short-lived 1980 variety series, “Marie” (without Donny). This special was made in 1989 that featured ‘then’ teen idol Kirk Cameron of “Growing Pains” and country music guest Lee Greenwood (who later becomes well-known for his patriotic song “God Bless the USA”).

It’s a nice heartwarming special reminicent of the good-old “Donny and Marie” shows and specials of the 1970′s. If you’re looking for some good hard-to-find holiday specials, I would recommend this one that’s good for families of various generations to watch.

christmas with marie
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Marie Osmond’s Merry Christmas This was an ok DVD. Very scenic and cute. While watching this christmas special i felt like something was missing then it dawned on me, no donny no osmond brothers. It just didnt feel like christmas without the whole family. Something i found to be very distracting for me was the constant costume changes. Everytime the angle of the camera changed, marie was wearing a different outfit. It felt more like a stage production than a downhome christmas special. In one scene, Lee Greenwood made an appearance, sang a song then went and sat down in the audience. 5 minutes later he jumps back on stage to perform another song and he was wearing a new outfit. what he do undress and change in the audience? Marie’s son Steven, then 5 yrs old was very cute and sang a cute little christmas song. The Utah scenery was very beautiful. All in all, I became bored half way through the show. Marie, however, was as beautiful as ever and although Im now 49 years old, that same envy i had of her beauty back as a kid, came rushing forward as I watched her on this show. Some people have all the breaks lol. Although i became bored with this special, I think Marie fans will still want this DVD for their collection

What’s Not to Love?

Big hair, shoulder pads, sequins aplenty, snow and Christmas songs. C’mon folks, take a step back to the big 80′s with this fabulous nostalgic Christmas special. Marie is in fine form (even if she IS hiding a baby bump) throughout this timeless program. And for only $4.95! That’s cheaper than a good cocktail or a pack of smokes…and you can watch it over and over. I remember back in 1989 when this special first aired my family didn’t own a VCR so I had the neighbor family videotape it for me. I watched that video about a hundred times before it finally gave up the ghost as VHS tapes are known to do. Was tickled pink when it came out on DVD. Now I am a teacher with no children of my own so every year at Christmas I force my students to watch Marie’s Christmas Special. Grudgingly at first, my students now have an appreciation for the artistry of Donny & Marie. They won’t admit that they enjoy it but every eye is glued to the television as soon as I push “play”. A true, pure holiday special that never gets old. I can’t recommend this DVD highly enough.

Good Purchase
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This was a very inexpensive DVD to add to my collection. It was funny “admiring” the “big” clothes and “big” hair of that time! Just to think…man, we had nerve to believe we looked great! haha! Kirk and Candice Cameron were silly too – ok; that moonwalk leaves nothing to be desired! haha But they were two very popular actors during that time. And I never did see this when it hit the airwaves back then. I gave it 3 stars because it didn’t hold my attention in one sitting. But it is a good holiday video to have if you’re a Marie fan or Cameron fan. Though the Cameron’s aren’t on very long.

1/2 of Donny and Marie is still better then most other Christmas DVD’s.
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This DVD was ok, not as good as the Donny and Marie Christmas which featured the whole family. This only has Marie’s son and her nephews. But still worth the low price and is better to some of the junk that comes out now a days.
