Excellent Message For Kids About Giving and Service November 13, 2009
Christine McGraw (Huntington Beach, CA USA)
I bought this video the other day for my girls. I'd have purchased it anyway because we're a Veggies family, but what really caught my eye was that it has a music video and Veggie cartoon promoting Operation Christmas Child. Our church and school support that project and we had the shoeboxes to put together. I put the video in while we did the boxes and it really helped my kids get a better understanding of what we were doing and for whom we were doing it.
The video itself is typical Veggies - it's a great story, framing human tragedies and triumphs in a package that little kids can get, along with all sorts of very funny stuff for Mom and Dad too. You can't go wrong with the Veggies at Christmastime and for $10, what's not to love!?
Heartwarming Tale of St. Nick November 6, 2009

I've told my son that there was, indeed, a "Santa Claus" in the form of St. Nicholas. When I saw that the Veggie Tales crew was coming out with a DVD about St. Nick, I ordered it immediately.
We have quite a few Veggie Tales DVDs (we're not even Christians), and have always found them to be clever, funny and well-produced eye-candy that presents noble values and practices.
We watched Saint Nicholas last night, and my son and I teared up. I didn't know Nicholas lost his parents as a child, and that they basically died while helping others during a plague. They modeled a life of giving and sharing to young Nicholas. In this DVD, Bob, Larry, Nicky Pepper and company demonstrate the origins of St. Nick (and perhaps even practices of Santa Claus, such as filling stockings and passing gifts through the chimney), including the influence his parents had upon him and the community.
The silly song about a dog wanting donuts was pretty corny--not as good as most other silly songs--but hey! we don't buy Veggie Tales for the silly songs anyway. :o)
I wish there were more Bonus Features on this particular DVD (like they have on other ones...such as drawing demonstrations, games, screen saves, etc.), but for the price, the Saint Nicholas Veggie Tales DVD is an absolute gem.
I'm glad we added this to our extensive holiday DVD collection, and I know we'll watch it again and again--and probably without a dry eye each time.
Highly recommended!

DVD "Saint Nicholas" arrived promptly and in good condition. This is probably one of the best Veggie Tales has put out so far. The message is beautiful!
As Expected October 19, 2009

We pretty much have all Veggie Tale dvds made and this is so far the favorite of my 2 year old. Now we can give Lessons from the Sock Drawer a rest. We got this the day it came out and she wants to watch it several times a day. As I am writing this she has given it a break today and is watching Silly Songs but really if we need to get work done we pop in Veggie Tales. My oldest is 17 and he will still watch em with his younger sisters! They have been a part of our family for years and I still get excited to see new ones come out and have yet to be disappointed!!
