With all the phony Santa Claus imitations that inhabit shopping malls and department stores this time of year, it is wonderful to see the spirit of Christmas portrayed by a truly believable person. It is a shame he wasn't around for the remake of "Miracle on 34th Street." This is the kind of video that can be enjoyed by the whole family as a holiday tradition. Each year, the little ones will find new things to appreciate.

Besides being an excellent production, this video has family appeal. Our 3 year old grandson was afraid of Santa, but when he saw this video, he was mesmerized, in fact, he took the video home and we haven't seen it since..We have older grandchildren who also loved it, so I will be purchasing another so when they visit, they will be able to enjoy it also. The 3 year old, now 31/2 years knows all the dialogue and most of the songs. I have seen other Santa vidios similar to this one, but this video was far superior to the others.

In addition to the lively presentation of traditional and original music, the storyline between Santa and the children is absolutely wonderful. For example: How do reindeer fly? Does Santa have a favorite cookie? How does Santa get down the chimney? The blending of Christmas traditions with a child's thought process convinces one that belief in Santa is more than o'k.
