This dvd is typical of a PC company trying to make peace with all religous holidays. i mean they go on and on for all holidays EXCEPT for CHRISTmas! i mean come on even non believers know what started the day of December 25 holiday we believers call CHRISTmas. It barley mentions Jesus stating he was a good teacher or something like that but goes on about santa claus. i know why sesame street does the things they do but i want to raise my kids to know Jesus and the real reason for the season! If you are a christian parent steer clear of this nonsense! Christmas eve on sesame street isn’t so bad, i’m guessing because it was made before being a christian offended people!!

Although I generally love Elmo’s World DVDs, I found the bias in this one troubling. Why is Kelly Ripa telling people about Kwanzaa? Shouldn’t a black host be informing kids about this holiday? Kelly says she has never been to Africa. Well that’s helpful. And then we get Kelly’s take on Hanukkah, which also seems off. Really, she shouldn’t be talking about either holiday.
Don’t be fooled, this one’s about Christianity and Christmas. This may seem extreme, but I really feel the subtext of this video is “if you aren’t Christian, you are second class and you get a second class holiday.” I expect more from these Sesame St videos, because so many supposedly intelligent people are supposed to be involved in making and approving them.

Really great DVD. My two year old son LOVES this DVD. Exposes kids to all of the different holidays that are celebrated this time of year. Very informational for parents too!

I actually got the VHS version of this movie at a second hand store. My 2 year old has watched it so many times, the tape broke, and I am now buying the DVD version. The video does a great job portraying all the holidays in a postive light, without favoring one over another. He watches it at least once a day and it never fails to entertain him.

My almost 2 year old loves this DVD. I started letting her watch it about 2 weeks ago (figured I’d wait till November at least). It’s a pretty nice overview of 3 holidays and it moves along so she’s constantly entertained. It gets me through making dinner which is what I need!
