Winter Wonderland?

Rating: 4/10 (22 December 2015)

Nice story to amuse all the kids of the Northern Hemisphere as they snuggle up in their warm beds in the hope that Santa is going to visit their home on the proviso that they have been good. But what about all of the kids who live on the down-under side of the world where Christmas is anything BUT trying to keep warm on an oh-so-cold winters night? My six year old nephew was completely confused watching this film with songs of "Winter Wonderland", "White Christmas" etc as I tried to explain to him that snowflakes and the coolness of winter will come to him in his dreams on an oppressively hot Christmas Eve only if he makes the effort to BELIEVE........Yeah right, nearly worked! Hey film-makers of all parts of the world and especially the Northern Hemisphere, how about making an effort to appeal to all kids of the world at Christmas time instead of conforming to your own selfish concepts of a "perfect Christmas." You Northern Hemisphere film "dudes" owe us big time down here!
