Christmas at the Arnold House isn't full of merriment in both of these episodes.In the 1968 episode where Kevin was in junior high, the family is trying to convince their dad to buy a color TV.Kevin is also trying to find the perfect present for Winnie.It is a bittersweet episode as Kevin remembers about Winnie's older brother, Brian, who died that past year.The high school episode is about how Kevin's father deals with running his own furniture shop and taking a risk by leaving his old job.Kevin also tries again to find the perfect present for Winnie.Isn't that cute!These episodes will make you laugh, cry, and relive old Christmases.

Wow! This tape would make an excellent gift for all Wonder Years fans! In the first episode, sweet 12-year-old Kevin Arnold is trying to find a present for his girlfriend Winnie and at the same time, the whole Arnold household is hoping Jack, the father will buy them a color t.v. for Christmas. In the end, Kevin learns that Christmas is more than presents and is about the memories and special moments in life. In the second episode, Kevin is older (sixteen-years-old) and is trying to find the perfect present for Winnie again. After the family, suffers a financial blow because Jack's partner decides to not invest in the furniture company, the holiday spirit is again being tested. I enjoyed the tapes so much and I watch them over and over. Definately a good tape.

I have enjoyed watching The Wonder Years from a toddler to a teen and tears still roll down my cheeks when i see the reality of the pain in the world that this program shows. Through Kevin's eyes I have seen the Vietnam War. I have felt love, rejection, acceptance, care, compassion and loss. The Wonder Years is the truth of the world then and now.

When I first saw an episode of the Wonder Years, I didn't connect with it much. I thought it was a show for kids, one that didn't have much bearing on me. As I watched it more, especially on Nick at Nite when there was nothing else on, I began to realize that this show was unique. Not only did it appeal to younger audiences with its light-hearted humor, but that it even appealed to middle to late teenagers like me, with its displays of Kevin's relationships, his feelings, and his growth as a person. This show deals with practically every difficulty that adolescents must face, from strange parents to changing friends. It is rare that a show has actually been able to reach out and touch my heart, but it seems that this show is able to do it whenever I watch it. My only wish was that they had the entire series available, so that I could watch it from start to finish.

The story was excellent, but the tape quality was awful. It looked like somebody taped it at home off their VCR. I was beginning to think it was bootlegged.

The Wonder Years- Holiday episodes gives us a chance not only to view "the wonder years" again, but it also allows us to view what it was like growing up. Wether it was during Kevin's time or not. And as he goes through the struggles that always seem to evolve during the holidays, we remember the struggles and joys of our holiday memories. This video Brings out emotions that you may not know you had.

Ok... I ordered The Wonder Years Christmas Episodes.. Some how, the VHS tape says Best of Christmas Episodes.. But, instead its the Wonder Years Volume 2 Tape which has 2 episodes... One episode was flash backs of many episodes that were already shown.. The second one was the very last Episode of the Wonder Years Series..... So what may have happened was, they put the wrong label on the Wrong VHS Tape.. Really sucks...

The Wonder Years is the best TV series I have ever watched. Iwould like to buy a WHOLE SET of video tapes of this show ifavailable. END

The story was excellent, but the tape quality was awful. It appeared as if someone taped it at home on their VCR in ELP. I was beginning to think it was bootlegged.

This video was some of the best Wonder Years material that I have ever seen on the hit television series. It defines how suburnan teenagers and adults feel about and coap with Christmas in the 1968 and 1973. END
