Your Advent days are bringing back very wonderful memories of my childhood Christmases - thanks! In the rush of being the mom who has to pull it all together - I need to stop and think about the truths behind the joy of the season, expressed so touchingly through these "children's" Christmas specials. A reminder to keep the child inside alive:)
C'est un chant merveilleux ! Il me fait venir les larmes aux yeux. Les paroles françaises qui ont été mises sur cette musique n'ont rien à voir avec les paroles anglaises, ce qui fait que je n'ai jamais su que c'était un chant de Noël. Merci.
My favourite old animation no longer available is The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship, an old Russian folk tale. When our kids were young we made it a Christmas tradition to watch it while the turkey was cooking. We had it on VHS but it wore out and couldn't be replaced, and it cost me a fortune to source a DVD version that was a crappier resolution. Progress, huh?
I bought the DVD as part of a set years ago. My kids ask why I still have DVDs, and buy them. This is why - if I own it they can’t take it away.
I loved this as a child. Thank you!
Thank you. It's been decades since I last saw this beautiful story. Brings the tears.

The song creates more emotion than most songs I know.
It was my fathers favorite.
"Banished by Networks" ... would you say more, please?
Celia...Bless you for this. Timeless. ❤️

Blessed are the pure in heart and blessed is Celia for posting this. It’s a soul-saver.

My Italian father !
Believe it or not we were both members of the Jewish Community Center !
I have it in DVD and show my kids along with Song of the south.
I was 15 at the time... thank you.
Oh, the profound simplicity of love - this is the first time I have ever seen this portrayal - thank you, Celia!
I can’t recall if we have vcr or dvd. Will be in trouble when the last player dies on us. Thank you.💜 💔 💜
I love this. Rudolph the Red Nose Rein Deer was even better.
