Customer Reviews Hallelujah, Everybody Say Cheese... I was initially exposed to this song on a cable access TV show, "Viva and Jerry's Country Videos" (which is hilarious in its own right). I have loved "Merry Christmas From the Family" by Robert Earl Keen since the very first time I ever heard it. I hadn't caught the name of the artist, so I called Viva herself and she told me to look up Robert Earl Keen. I did so, bought a couple of albums and generally liked them, but this song (and his video that goes with it) remains my favorite of his works. It's kind of sad that there is more than a little truth in the song, but nonetheless it's funny, dryly tongue-in-cheek, and very well done. A better value is the combination book/CD that is available which includes not only a CD of the song, but a very well done book depicting the lyrics. While this may never overtake "Silent Night" or "O Come All Ye Faithful" in the pantheon of the world's most popular Christmas songs, it has a unique charm that is like nothing else, and I recommend it highly. . The Epitome of Texas Music - Long live REK! This is why I've been listerning to his music since 1990. This song is a characteristic of his style. He talks about real life stuff and finds the hidden humor behind it. THIS SONG IS SOO FUNNY! HE HAS A GREAT VOICE & IF YOU LIKE THIS ONE YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT HIS OTHER CD'S!. THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST SONGS I HAVE EVER HEARD. . You can see a complete list of all Robert Earl Keen discography, or go back to the Robert Earl Keen tabs
