My take:  So apparently, Phineas and Ferb has been on the air since 2007.  Who knew?  Not us, that's for sure.  We only recently discovered this show and I've got to tell you, it seems to be one of the ONLY shows my kiddos want to watch these days.  Seriously.  I had heard about it before from a blogging friend (who has no disappeared off the map so I have no way of telling her that she was right) who just loved the show so one day I turned it on for my kids and the rest, as they say, is history.  So I begged asked nicely to be able to review their new Christmas DVD.   I understand that many of the creative forces involved with the show have a musical background and it shows - there is always a musical number of some sort in each episode (which aren't bad actually - I've been known to toe-tap along).  The humor is funny without being too gross or offensive and there is nothing scary either so both my 6 and 8 year old love to watch.  This DVD was greatly appreciated - 6 new episodes in all - including the bonus episode AND some cool extras - Christmas Caroling Karaoke ("Perry-Oki") was our favorite (I love to hear my kiddos sing).  All and all, this would make a great stocking stuffer for your Phineas and Ferb fan.  Check out the clips below and see if you agree!

Love Phineas and Ferb!! Hope I'm not the one who told you and dropped off the face of the earth. Although that could be an accurate statement which I hope to rectify soon. Hard to pull out of the swamp I've been in.
