Description: This VHS tape is in very good condition, considering how long I have had it! There is just some normal wear around the edges. I did print my last name, in the upper right-hand corner, with a black permanent marker. I shared this video, with my kindergarten class, during the month of December. They really enjoyed it! This item is clean and comes from a smoke free home. This video was produced by Sony Music Entertainment, Inc. It has a copyright date of 2000 and is 60 minutes in length. The video comes in a plastic clamshell case. The following is a synopsis of the plot of the video: In this hour-long special, plans are underway, in Elwood City, for the best holiday ever! Arthur, D.W., and their family and friends frantically making preparations for the "perfect holiday season", including perfect gifts, perfect parties, and perfect family traditions for Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. But, just as real life, Arthur soon discovers, however, that perfection is hard to come by and cannot last. Things begin to fall apart. Arthur learns that the joy of Christmas isn't found in an artificial vision of the "perfect holiday", but in the wonderfully messy, imperfect world in which he lives. Children will enjoy joining Arthur, D.W., and all their pals in this fun-filled animated special based on the best-selling children's books by Marc Brown. The following gives you a little more detail about this movie: Arthur, the hapless, hugely popular star of his own TV series, probably knows on some subconscious level that by anticipating the perfect Christmas, he's setting himself up for a fiasco. That's just the sort of world-weary, 8 year old aardvark he is. Nevertheless, he and his pals are hopeful that this year, even though it's already the 22nd and there's no snow on the ground, heavy-duty wish fulfillment, or at least a good time, will be had by all. Classmate, Muffy, is hard at work on the good time part, but she's too busy broadcasting news of her pull-out-all-the-stops party to pay attention when the increasingly frustrated Francine begs off, because of Hanukkah commitments. Buster Baxter, meanwhile, has his hands full getting his guilt-ridden divorced mom to mellow out. And, Arthur's knee-deep in his own predicaments. D.W. demands he draft the perfect letter to Santa. Arthur's dad deserts the annual turkey in favor of a historically correct Christmas dinner. And, Arthur feels like a "dufus", as he puts it, when, on Christmas morning, he drops and breaks the perfect present he bought for his mother. Fortunately, there's nothing a few well-chosen words from a grownup like his Uncle Fred can't fix. And, the others also finagle a way around their differences. The holiday spirit sneaks up and smiles on everybody. This one-hour video is pleasantly paced and gets extra spice from a handful of original songs and a few far-fetched, genuinely funny Arthur fantasy segments. This movie is guaranteed to make any Arthur fan's spirits bright! This item would make a wonderful addition to a primary classroom! It would also be great to have in a household with children who are Arthur fans! I am hoping to find this video a good home.
