Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the movie's message. Does the true meaning of Christmas get lost in materialism? Can you think of real world examples of how that is true? How could you work against that -- either in your family or in society?

Great for All!
There's some minor name calling (stupid) but nothing to worry about. A Christmas classic!
Lives in New YorkI rate this title on for age 2 and give itI like this special, it's okay. But I have yet to understand why it has gotten so famous as it has. The voice actors and actresses always sound a bit bored, for some odd reason. Unless this airs on a night when ABC Family isn't airing a claymation Christmas special, I don't watch it because it's not one of my priorities. A more heartwarming Christmas special (yes, it's a claymation one) would be The Story of the First Christmas Snow (shortened to 'The First Christmas' or 'The First Christmas Snow' on the TV Listings, usually).

This is a great family oriented classic!
This is so GREAT! This Christmas special is funny, witty and great for family viewing. I've watched it every Christmas of my life, and it NEVER gets old! It tells the true meaning of Christmas. It doesn't smear it like saying that Christmas is just a time for joy and giving, but says that the reason for Christmas is that Jesus came to Earth to save us from our sin. A must watch for everyone(including Atheists). Regarding language, COME ON PEOPLE!!! "Stupid" and "Blockhead" aren't swearwords! All you need to do is tell your kids not to say those words! I mean, it does'nt have the D or H word in it! YOU MUST WATCH IT!!!!!!!
