Years ago I lost the VHS tape that contained all of my favorite childhood Christmas specials. This year I decided to reclaim them all on DVD, starting with Christmas Eve on Sesame Street. The DVD contains the feature and previews of other Sesame Street videos; it doesn't have any features (which is fine with me because I'm not a big fan of DVD featurettes anyway). I don't know how much the kids of today will relate to this film since the Sesame Street they're growing up with is very different from this one. However, I think those in their 20's and 30's will get a bigger kick out of this one and also have fun sharing this film with their families.
I bought this for my cousin's son who is 2. My grandparents had 2 kids, my mom, and my uncle. Between them they had 4 girls, Me, my sister, and my 2 cousins. The 4 of us remember watching this the first time it came out, and what wonderful memories it was for us. Now that we're grown with children of our own, we have made sure to buy this classic for the new generation, and pass it down.

This video was made only a few years after Sesame Street started running. We all loved this pre-Elmo video that includes Mr. Hooper and Kermit the Frog. My 3 year old loves this one. I read an interview done on Bob from Sesame Street and he commented that this video was his favorite to make due to the complicated scenes with the variety of muppets and the great storyline so I looked it up on e-Bay. My daughter loves Bert & Ernie, and there is a great storyline with them in this video about giving. If you have a Sesame Street fan - this is a great video. My daughter also loves knowing who Mr. Hooper is.
If you are a fan of the earlier Sesame Street, this is a great DVD. It has Mr. Hooper, Bob, Linda, Maria, David, Olivia, Susan, and Gordon, as well as Bert, Ernie, Cookie Monster, the Count, Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, and Mr. Snuffleupagus. Oscar teases Big Bird that Santa won't come because he can't fit down the chimney, and Big Bird goes on a quest to figure out HOW Santa does it. Lots of entertaining sketches and great songs. One of my favorite Christmas programs to watch every year.

I bought this item because it reminds me of my childhood, and waiting for Santa Claus to come on Christmas Eve. I used to look forward to this being on TV every year, and sometimes I was dissappointed because they wouldn't show it. I have many nieces and nephews and plan on having my own children someday, and they will never have to worry about it being on TV now that I have the DVD. The story is timeless, and helps you remember what this time of the year is all about. It is one of the best Christmas specials out there, and has all of your classic, favorite Sesame Street characters.
