Holly Hobbie & Friends - Christmas Wishes

My almost eight-year-old daughter loves Holly Hobbie, a character she has only recently been acquainted with. In a world of garish characters like those from Monster High and over the top silliness, I find Holly and friends to be refreshing, down-to-earth characters.In "Christmas Wishes", Holly reminds her brother Robbie that one of the best things about the season is giving. She gets a chance to put this into practice when she comes across a sad young widow with twin boys who lost their father the previous summer.So Holly and her friends who form the Hey Girls Club put their thinking caps on to figure out what they can do to pass on some holiday cheer to the grieving family.My daughter and I have only watched two Holly Hobbie DVDs so far, including Best Friends Forever, and we look forward to catching up with the rest of the shows. The running time on this DVD is 44 mins.

Watched this video with my 6 y/o daughter and we both enjoyed it. Was refreshing to see a Christ-centered Christmas storyline as opposed to Santa-centered... not that there is anything wrong with Santa...he is also featured in this video as well, but the real meaning of Christmas is not forgotten is all that I mean. They have a Christmas pageant, sing 'O Holy Night', and shed light on the importance of 'giving' to others rather than 'receiving' at Christmas. Wholesome story that moved along and maintained interest. Great alternative to some of the others out there that possibly foster poor values in girls. Great music and great message. Kudos to the producers of this one - a true gem IMO.

My girls love this movie! They are three and two, and this is all they want to watch since it came in the mail two weeks ago. The story is cute, and well written. I love that they describe the Christmas season as celebration of the birth of Jesus which it is.(They put that in the pagent parts), but still included some silly santa stuff. My husband and I have watched it with them, and we laugh at the same times they do. They also show the discription of a loss of a loved one, and how people deal with that kind of event emotionally. I appreciated that they described this all very clearly and beautifully in a way that my little girls can understand. Good family movie.

Loved this movie !!

great family movie

Love this movie, even as an adult.

I'm so glad Holly Hobbie is back! My 5 year old loves her and we watch this movie over and over. Holly and her friends are updated and cool but still sweet, caring and funny. Perfect for younger girls and a great distraction from Hannah Montana. I will definately buy more videos. We love the books and I know my daughter will love the design doll for Christmas. I definately recommend her - I think girls age 8-11 would still like her too (Holly is 10 years old).

Daughter loves it

My little niece asked me to get this for her for her birthday and Mom & Dad played it for her. She told me how happy she was with it and that's good enough for me. For things like this, little ones know best.

Ich kann die DVD nicht abspielen. Das ist eine Region 1 DVD, die auf handelsüblichen europäischen DVD Playern nicht abgespielt werden kann.
