Same with books. When e-books first came on the scene, a wise woman said to me she would continue to purchase hard copies of book, "Whatever can be easily given can be easily taken."
Me too. This one. Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, It's a Charlie Brown Christmas. Miss the innocence and hope that these shows promoted.
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.

Don't think for 2 seconds that that isn't part of "you'll own nothing".
Physical media is important.
I loved this as a child. Thank you!

Thank you. It's been decades since I last saw this beautiful story. Brings the tears.

Well said Jeanne. Merry Christmas and thank you for remembering the true reason we celebrate this great day.
The song creates more emotion than most songs I know.
It was my fathers favorite.
My father's too! (My Jewish father.)
"Banished by Networks" ... would you say more, please?
It's not shown on American television anymore.
Thanks for the clarification. And for bringing it alive here. I remember it, for sure.
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.
We ran that one about a week ago at this "channel."
