All I Want for Christmas Is You

I gave it two stars because I liked the mixed race family element; you don't see that a lot in tv and movies. Especially for children. Being of mixed race and being in an interracial marriage, I was happy to show my four-year-old son families like ours.

But I was confused why Mariah didn't look of mixed race at all, and why she had long straight blond hair when her siblings had curly brown hair. I feel like it was a nod to Mariah and her vanity, which has no place in a kids movie. Also, Mariah is irritating as a narrator.

Overall, it was cute enough but I hope my son doesn't ask to watch it again. We've watched The Santa Clause 3 three times in two days and I'd rather watch that a fourth time than watch this again.
