This story is about a law which is passed that forbids parents and authority figures from disciplining children. When Santa shows concern that his naughty list is growing and his nice list shrinking, he sends two of his helpers to try to turn things around. The "naughty" problems of children become obvious and in one scene a group of kids enter a church and throw song books and show disrespect but when a boy accidentally breaks a leg a church worker is there to show him kindness and forgiveness. She explains that love is the motivation behind parents who make their children mind and do the right thing. Some of the acting in this program is a bit lacking but there are others in this film, particularly some of the younger performers, who nail their scenes. The spirit of this program and its moral theme is exemplary and we are more than pleased to award our Dove Seal to this DVD for all ages as a family-friendly film.
