5 out of 5 stars A Christmas Must   December 1, 2008
What a wonderful Socking stuffer! I had seen this movie on tv a few years ago and really enjoyed the down to earth way they explained about the Christmas season making it an uniquely warm and down to earth story about Santa. I have bought alot this movie and have stuck them in stockings and given them as gifts. Great to watch with your kids. If you have not seen this you will be sad that you have missed it. This was a delightful little story of "Santa" and his helper; how he visited the new world for the first time and how he became who he is today. There are lots of ways the writers of this film could have went with it but in my opinion they picked the best by staying with the true values of Christmas.



4 out of 5 stars Charming!   December 27, 2007

This made-for-Tv movie is based on the myths of St. Nicholas and the Netherland's Zwarte Piet, or Black Pete. It does a charming job of explaining many of the origins of the myths associated with Santa Claus, how he came to use reindeer, how he aquired his traditional outfit, how stockings came to be used and many others.
This is a charming, multi-cultural tale that leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy.



5 out of 5 stars Great Family Viewing   November 4, 2007
Santa & Pete combines drama and comic relief, life lessons, and a vision of faith's rewards. Great entertainment for young and old alike. A healthy movie for children to see and a delight for parents to view with their kids.
This is an especially heartwarming tale for the holidays that can be enjoyed anytime and enjoyed over and over again!

This movie is one that is so different. It brings together the true meaning of how Santa began and how he got his reindeer, suit of clothes, it adds religion to it and all walks of life and is very culture orginity...which is something lacking in our world today...my whole family loved it and watched it many many times over the holidays


5 out of 5 stars Should Be a Christmas Classic for Kids   December 27, 2006
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

If you are looking for a very imaginative Christmas movie, this one is for you and your kids. Okay, I admit that it plays the facts quite loosely, but the story is so clever this movie should be a Christmas classic. It follows St. Nicholas from ancient times through all the nooks and turns that it might have taken to arrive at the modern traditions of Santa Clause. Parents will laugh at some of the imaginative ways this movie conceives for the origin of Santa traditions, and kids will love the story just because it is the story of Santa!
