Hey, thank you for reminding me about The Best Christmas Pageant Ever! I think I will get it for my 8 year old daughter. Merry Christmas!

You sound so much like me! I always watched the animated movies, too. Heh.

I’ve yet to see It’s A Wonderful or Miracle. One day I will.

D’oh! Just realized you linked to the DVD and not the book! So excited! It is now on its way to my house.

Oh, in our house, Christmas music was also a big deal and “The Birthday Party” by Agapeland music was a childhood memory I bought last year too.

I loved, loved, loved TBCPE! I have the book, but Fuller is still a bit too young for it. Have been looking for it in some television form for a while.

We also enjoyed Truman Capote’s A Christmas Memory, not the Patty Duke version, but the older one. I found that one last year and bought the VHS tape.

Funily enough, I always watch “It’s a Wonderful life” multiple times, and “Miracle on 34th St” and have *never seen* TBCPE.

I have read the book, but only as an adult.

I have been living this play for almost two months. My normally outspoken, never knows when to be quiet child, has a non-speaking sheperdess role. I can now quote the entire play in my sleep. It has been so much fun doing this play this holiday season.

It’s funny that I saw your post tonight because I had been thinking of just this movie earlier in the day and how I hadn’t seen it in a while. I remember the first time I saw it, I didn’t care for it as the Herdman kids were just too much of a turn off. However, after seeing it several times, I got to where I really enjoyed it and it bceame one of my favorite Christmas movies. Thanks for the reminder.

Oh and it’s Miracle on 34th Street You should definately see it.

We did a production of TBCPE in high school. (Junior year, I think?) Awesome.

Also? Miracle on 34th Street.
