Produced in Finland
and dubbed into English, the Christmas Story DVD tells the story of the
childhood and maturing of Nicholas, the boy who grows up to become Santa Claus.
There is no
offensive content in Christmas Story. Nicholas is orphaned when his parents and
baby sister drown, though this happens off-camera. Nicholas is adopted by Isaac
the carpenter, a lonely old man who is initially gruff and harsh with him; but
over time, as Nicholas becomes skilled in woodworking and becomes the son Isaac
wishes he had had, they grow to love one another. There are a few moments of
sadness in the film, but many more showing the joy Nicholas receives from giving
gifts to others.
Christmas Story
will make a delightful stocking-stuffer for younger children, and its story of
the life of Santa never grows old. The PTC is pleased to award Christmas
Story with the PTC Seal of ApprovalTM. This DVD is
appropriate for children over age five.
