          An adorable children's holiday movie!
          My sons who are 4 and 7 love this movie. I thought the message they conveyed in the movie was great and my kids also understood it. They would point out things throughout the movie. It'll for sure be a holiday movie added to our collection of christmas movies we watch every Christmas. (The second movie is just as cute btw)
