Season's greetings, everyone,
Shalom, feliz navidad, and gazuntite! It is with sincere gratitude that we thank you for giving The Family Force 5 Christmas Pageant a chance. When the idea of recording a Christmas album was presented to the 5 of us, we felt like 55 year old men auditioning for the role of the Baby Jesus at the annual cantata. However, when Soul Glow played us the unfinished, yet powerful loop for "Do You Hear What I Hear" after a Winter Jam concert, our hearts were filled with bowls of jolly and holly. We knew it was somehow possible for this eccentric, noisy band to pay homage to holiest day in history.
In the typical Family Force 5 fashion, we ran into plenty of obstacles along the way... namely, the fact that we had to write and record The Family Force 5 Christmas Pageant in the midst of a ludicrously busy tour schedule. Inspired by cinnamon spray and pumpkin-spiced lattes, this album was created in rental vans in Dallas, pancake houses in Washington, dressing rooms in the Netherlands, and airports around the World. It is very dear to us, and we hope our baby brings you a mere sprinkle of the faith, hope, and love that the other Baby (the one in swaddling clothes) invokes in all of our hearts.
From the bling on our Hulk fists, to the scratches on our gear,
We're gonna make it rain on the Baby Jesus this year!
May your days be joyful, and merry, and bright!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
Come celebrate the birth of our King,
FAMILY FORCE 5

I love Family Force 5! And was so happy to get their new cd "Christmas Pageant". I listened to it all day. Great classic christmas songs in FF5 fashion. My favorites are Carol of the bells, My Favorite Things, and Angels we have heard on high. The best song on the album in my oppinion is Carol of the Bells. Best mix i have heard for the song ever. Family Force 5 and Christmas! What can get better. Now all I need is a tree and some lights, and maybe some egg nog.

Okay, so it basically made my life to see that FF5 has a new Christmas album out, and I listened to the whole thing (even though it is October) I was happily satisfied. I'm pretty sure that nothing bad can come from FF5 and this album goes right along with that theory.
I'd suggest it to anyone. I can't wait to buy it myself :)
GOOD JOB!| Posted October 06, 2009
