5.0 out of 5 stars Yes Virginia, Black folks celebrate Christmas!, December 20, 2007

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The Kid Who Loved Christmas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this movie on the Lifetime for Women network channel. I thought it was a touching and heartwarming story of a family trying to stay connected despite tragedy and obstacles. It is so refreshing to see African-Americans depicted as what they are: flesh and blood human beings. I rarely see this movie run during the holiday season. I am so glad I was able to purchase this video through an Amazon seller in order that my children see Christmas and the holiday spirit reflected in their beautiful Black images. The movie can be a little over the top with drama, but aren't most holiday movies? This movie needs to be on DVD. I loved the acting and the message of unconditional love and family.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best SANTA I ever did see, January 31, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Kid Who Loved Christmas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the best Santa Claus I have ever seen. Are you sure Mr. Seidelman didn't go to North Pole and hire the real one?
