I remember seeing this for the first time on TV. The story behind this DVD truly touched my heart! I was so happy to see that I could buy it. This is a family classic that will touch your heart!

A grumpy shoemaker in a small German town is visited by an angel who tells him he will receive a special gift and visitor for Christmas from God. The excited shoemaker starts preparing his house for a feast and makes a special pair of red boots for his expected visitor. Christmas eve comes and three townspeople who have irritated him in some way come to visit with simple presents and he invites them in to share his Christmas feast. Later the angel returns to tell him that the gift and visitors were from his friends and tells him about the baby Jesus being the savior and that He is the true meaning of Christmas. The happy shoemaker runs out and gives his precious red boots to a small child without shoes. A simple story but surprisingly moving. One of the better Christian videos I have seen. The animation is even pretty good.

This is a great dvd. The picture is so cozy. Tells how Christmas is not only for presents but of God's biggest gift to us, Jesus. Great family film for anytime of the year.

I watched this video with my 6-year-old niece and 3-year-old nephew and we all enjoyed it very much. It reinforces good Christian values.

I got this movie for my 4 year old son and I felt it really accurately captured what the true meaning of Christmas should be in a way a young child can understand. It is truly a keeper and a great choice among the so many other secular videos available. We've watched it together many times. The length is perfect, just long enough to hold his attention and the content is excellent. This movie should definitely be a part of every Christian's Christmas movie collection.

I showed this at a Christmas assembly for my school. Kids from Kindergarten to Grade 8 were in attendance. All of them enjoyed the story. It'a good DVD to show any age group. There are many teachable moments throughout the character development of the story. The DVD also comes with discussion questions if you choose do them.

This video is truly a great video to watch at Christmas time. The theme is the real meaning of Christmas, that is Christ coming to us as our Savior. He is the most beautiful gift there is. Children will learn the meaning of sharing gifts at Christmas and will really understand that Christmas is about Jesus coming to us. It is about 30 minutes, it has 3 language tracks (English, French and Spanish) and will appeal to children of all ages. I highly recommend this video!

A story for all ages. I could watch it over and over again.

This is our family's favorite Christmas movie. It gets right at the true meaning of Christmas with a story of greed vs. giving. It's a bit like the Christmas Carol where an angel visit a grumpy "bah humbug" kind of man and then he sees the true light-our Savior. What I like most about this movie and it stays true to scripture with how Christians are saved-by God's grace alone. It's a wonderful way to help children understand Christmas isn't about the gifts. I think it's around 30 minutes. The story is very well written and the animation is truly charming.

This was a very good movie. All kids would like this one. They would learn alot. Fast delivery.
