My Review:
It's never too early to get into the holiday spirit and if your kids are like mine, they'll watch Christmas specials all year round anyway. Nickelodeon Favorites: Merry Christmas is a great blend of fun stories and positive messages about helping out, many of them helping Santa to save Christmas. If you're looking for a DVD to help your kids get into the holiday spirit - then you should pre-order Nickelodeon Favorites: Merry Christmas and share it with them!
Without cable or satellite, my kids rely on DVD movies more than ever and we'd never had a chance to watch Team Umizoomi before, but it's fast becoming a favorite here, although there's a special place in my heart for Blue's First Holiday - a classic that even Robyn enjoys seeing occasionally since it brings back her own younger years... and of course Ni Hao, Kai-lan, Go Diego Go and the Wonderpets help round out a really fun holiday DVD.
