Title: May be a disappointment for Arthur fans
Product review: Our family loves watching Arthur on PBS and reading Marc Brown's Arthur books. Arthur's Perfect Christmas, however, was a disappointment. The show is very ambitious as it touched on Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Christmas and even, St. Lucia Day. I think it focused so much on the being all inclusive that it didn't do enough to explore the positive, non-commercial aspects of Christmas. Instead, the secular way of celebrating Christmas is explored with one character's family (Buster's)deciding not to celebrate the Christmas holiday at all because they find it "too exhausting." (Nice solution.) Arthur frets over his shopping list. D.W. pines away for the year's hot toy while everyone else in Elwood City seems to be celebrating alternative holidays.I think that Christmas was not portrayed in a very positive light in this video. The end result was that Arthur's Perfect Christmas didn't feel very Christmas-y. Maybe Arthur is getting a little too P.C. for me . . . .
