I only relaxed the rule a bit about a year plus back when I
let her watch series such as Sid the Science Kid and The Magic School Bus because of her inquisitive nature where she started asking me about how things work. It
was also sometime this year that I allowed her to watch movies but we would very
often break it down into 2 parts.
During this Christmas period, I was looking around for some
suitable DVD titles and I chanced upon Arthur Christmas at a local DVD store
and I decided to give it a try!
Synopsis
The story centers on Arthur Christmas, son of Santa who
discovered that a package was left out for a child and how he ‘jumps through
the hoops’ to deliver the present to that child, just in time, for Christmas.
Heartwarming and peppered with adult humour, we like this simple story as it touches on simple values such as ‘responsibilities’ and ‘promises’. It is also a great family movie (suitable for ages 3 and up because of the adult humor) with a modern Christmas high-tech twist (watch the movie and you’d understand) that is great for this festive season.
