Introducing The Little Drummer Boy. No drumroll please (I have a headache).
This is the all time mom favorite. Or at least two mothers of my acquantiance seem to like this movie (well two out of two that is a good correlation, isn't it?). To be honest I think that the simplicity of the visual component of the show is quite appealing. I also appreciate the just general over all simplicity and beauty of the movie. It is perhaps the best children's classic Christmas movie that I have seen (Other then the Peanut's Christmas of course, but that is to good to be a classic).
Not that it's competition is all that great anyway. I mean seriously Frosty Returns. Who thought that movie was a good idea? I mean personally I was hoping frosty was going to melt. In both movies actually and what else is there Rudolph. I mean if the shiny nose was such a big problem they could always have cut it off. I mean it is just like my dad always says if it hurts cut it off. Fine that might be a little bit of an over reaction.
Also a problem with the Little Drummer Boy is that it seems to send half of my siblings to bed with nightmares (well as long as they stay in bed we are okay). These kids are way to sensitive. I like to call myself sensitve (I don't like calling myself sensitive but I unfortunately am sensitive). So maybe kids should not watch it. But it is a kids show. I mean who else will watch this? (stupid bloggers like myself don't count).
Well actually maybe watching it once a year is not such a bad idea. It really has many elements about it that are quite appealing (whereas other Christmas children's shows are quite appalling).
So I suggest watching it if you can even find it.
