My Favorite Christmas Movie

     Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas is my favorite holiday movie. Although the Jim Henson creation is a story that is very much geared toward children, I still enjoy its simplicity and traditional Christmas values. I believe it carries the right kind of message and that is something that is important to remember this time of year. I recently purchased the DVD after not seeing the movie for years. Every time I would talk about it people would think I was nuts. Many have not seen it or even heard of it. The movie was originally an HBO special from 1977. I loaned the movie to a friend so he could show it to their kids, and the movie stood the test of time. His kids loved it, albeit for reasons that are very different from my own. Still, it is nice to share my holiday memories with others.
