My kids (8 and 10) love Pee Wee and I cannot see his films ever being outdated! I love his subtle and hidden adult humor.

What Parents Need to Know
About Pee-wee's Playhouse Christmas Special
Parents need to know that, although there's nothing objectionable in this film, Pee-wee isn't the most outstanding role model for children. He's crass occasionally and likes to poke fun, but he's also inventive, vulnerable, and loads of fun. Pee-wee learns a bit about Hanukkah and holiday card-making, even more about sharing. Kids will learn how to say "Merry Christmas" in Spanish, even if Pee-wee has some trouble.
