Three years before the "Tickle Me Elmo" craze, a selfish, greedy boy gets what toys he covets via sucking his thumb or thowing a tantrum. His parents gave up on him, purchasing no toys. In response, he writes a half-mile list to Santa, but when he receives it, a mishap occurred one Christmas Eve, thanks to a location found on a church-sized map. That taught the brat a lesson he'll never forget: letting each girl and boy not only look for the interests of his or her self, but for those of others too, such as the residents of an impovershed small town who received the brat's toys.
Jeremy Creek stars in "The Town That Santa Forgot," a holiday classic in which it should be included in the Buy Nothing Day coverage on television. It has an implied moral that love and giving (or, additionally for Christians, Jesus) is the reason for the season, not the Invaders From Outer Space or a rocking horse. Narrated in the style of Dr. Suess, this will tug your heartstrings and (for those predicting a toy craze and those with kids) teach the life skills of being more altruistic.
A perfect 10/10!
