Additional music will include original songs such as, “Can’t Smile Without Ewe,” and the all-new silly song, “The 8 Polish Foods of Christmas.” The title includes special bonus content and activities, and helps to teach the important lessons about giving to others and the power of forgiveness.

We feel fans and families will also be delighted with the inspirational music we’ve incorporated into this show, including the title track from renowned artists BeBe and CeCe Winans.”

My Take on the DVD
As always the people who make Veggie Tales did it right and bring together some great messages for our children today! To often children today do not hear messages of forgiveness, love and sacrifice. This DVD provides these messages as well as the love that God has for all and for my family that means a lot! The story was definitely heart-warming and one that my kids just loved. I know that this is a DVD that will be a classic in our home and a mainstay during the holidays and throughout the rest of the year!
