Christmas DVDs for all ages and stages

One of my favorite pleasures of this time of year is indulging in Christmas-themed shows. From “The Christmas episode” of sit-coms and dramas, to favorite classics that I have to watch each year, to new movies and DVDs, seeing the love of Christmas portrayed on screen really gets me in the mood. Add the Christmas music that I love to hear for the short time each year, and I can tackle all the other things that go along with the season: baking, cooking special meals, and lots of shopping.

Here are some great DVDs that would be appropriate to kids in a wide age range. Buy them now to fuel your kids’ excitement (Do any kids really need help in that area?) and guarantee some TV babysitting time while you are checking off your to-do list, or include them as a part of the Christmas-morning fun.

Give your child the ultimate Christmas gift with this collection of holiday favorites – Thomas & Friends: Ultimate Christmas, The Happy Elf, Santa Claus: The Movie and Eloise: Little Miss Christmas.

In Thomas & Friends: Ultimate Christmas, you’ll experience first hand the joy and magic the holiday season brings to Thomas and his friends.

Kids will love The Happy Elf, narrated by Harry Connick, Jr. It’s the fun-filled story of Eubie, the happy little elf out to save Christmas!

Santa Claus: The Movie is the delightful story of Santa’s greatest adventure of all – to save Christmas for the children of the world!

In Eloise: Little Miss Christmas, it’s almost Christmas Eve for Eloise, the Plaza’s most famous six-year old. Don’t miss the fun when she and her friends decide to put on a holiday show like no other!

Five of you will win a bundle of all four DVDs with a retail value of $59.92.

We would also like to thank Anchor Bay entertainment for donating 5 additional sets for the Under the Tree giveaway to some families in need.
