Summary: Xmas every day? Does this movie ever end?
Review: Although some of the classic Sesame Street sytle is here, this is way too long leaving the viewer wondering if this tedious story will ever end..and a grumpy Santa to boot! What my kids remember most? That Elmo shatters his snowglobe(no I'm not giving away the story.) Now, every single snowglobe that has entered our home in 3 years gets the "wish,wish'wish" and thrown on the pavement treatment. We just got Tim Allen's Santa Clause. Pick that over this! The magic is real and the plot keeps moving at a wonderful pace. Humor far excels Sesame Street's also. If you liked Elmo in Grouchland, you'll probably like Elmo Saves Christmas. We didn't like either.

Summary: Very cute variation
Review: Elmo is our kids' favorite, and can do no wrong when it comes to movies. This Christmas tape is no exception. The story is engaging, about how it would be to actually have Christmas every day of the year. The tune "It's Christmas Again" is catchy and my little one dances around in circles whenever it's sung. The sets are realistic and colorful, the costumes adorable. Charles Durning is a sweet and gentle Santa and my daughter loves seeing Elmo interact with him and the Easter Bunny (a hilarious Harvey Firestein in a bunny costume, raspy singing voice and all) Though not your usual story of Christmas, and certainly not much learning will be done during this tape, it's pure fun to watch and the songs are catchy. Also, it lasts an hour so if you limit your child's tv viewing to 30 minutes and under you'll have to watch this one in two sessions.

Summary: Elmo Saves Christmas
Review: I bought this video for my 2 year old who loves elmo... It has little to do with the true meaning of christmas and the plot becomes repetitive... Terrible dvd or video

Summary: Elmo Saves Christmas
Review: I have a major Elmo fan in my home. My child is only 15 months old but loves the music and Sesame Street sights and sounds. In this video many of the songs repeat throughout the storyline, my child is able to make a connection and stay focused for the duration of the story. Since I have to watch this many, many times, I have to admit it is well written, fun, and a joy to watch. Plus they included one of my favorite writers and storytellers Maya Angelou...Hooray for Sesame Street!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My boy loves it!
Review: I have a two-year old that just loves this movie, and if your child is in the same age range, they will too.

Nothing fancy here, just a good story for kids to enjoy. END

Summary: A NEW AND ORIGINAL XMAS STORY
Review: I was surprised to hear other reviews comment on the length. Our daughter has had no problem sitting through this video and she enjoyed every minute of it. Granted, she is a big Elmo fan, but the story and the songs are so nicely blended that we all have enjoyed the movie--at least for the first 100 times we've watched it now. So but what I really like about it is that it's a new story for Christmas. It seems like the same Xmas stories are rehashed over and over again. But this story is new. And it helped our daughter to understand that Christmas is a special time of the year. And that message is reinforced with a couple of sweet new holiday songs. So I say, if you're looking for something new and different give this one a try. And, don't worry, we haven't lost a snow-globe yet. Sheesh. And yes, Durning is a Great Santa. So he's grumpy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not my favorite, but the kids are wild for it...
Review: It's now June, and the kids have watched this video twice this week. Even the baby is learning how to say, "Elmo ssss Cismis", so I have to say this video is still a hit in my house.

I found the repetitive theme song a bit irritating, but then again, this video was never intended to please me. The younger kids really like it.

The story itself is rather good -- Elmo wants every day to be Christmas, and so, with a bit of magic, he gets his wish. And then we get to see what it's like to have Christmas EVERY day.

This would be a good "after Christmas" video, I think. Of course, you might not want to still be watching it in June...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not nearly as good as EVERY OTHER ELMO DVD
Review: It's really tedious and dissapointing, my two and a half year old is already sick of it, and after one watching, I want to get rid of it. Sho loves all the other Elmo DVD's.
