*Adventures from the Book of Virtues: A Christmas Carol for Annie*  
  
This DVD is a collection of animated stories that provide a modern spin on traditional Christmas tales. It does a terrific job of showing your children the true meaning of Christmas through various messages of generosity, unselfishness and kindness.  
  
Though Annie becomes temporarily blinded by greed and profit due to being elected president of the drama club, she eventually learns the true meaning of the holiday season. This release is a great way to sit down with your kids and show them that Christmas is about giving rather than receiving, especially with the commercialization of the holiday in recent years by various retailers.  
  
*Adventures from the Book of Virtues: A Christmas Carol for Annie* is a Porch Light Home Entertainment studio creation that is scheduled to be released on October 7.  
  
*Deluxe Holiday Collection - Peanuts*  
  
Parents of the Charlie Brown generation will be thrilled to know that they can purchase a re-mastered version of the classics they once watched as children during the holiday season on DVD. "It's the Great Pumpkin," "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas" are all featured in this beautifully designed box set.  
  
This holiday collection is already receiving a tremendous amount of hype, despite the fact that it was released just a week ago, due to the fantastic visual and audio enhancements that have been made to the timeless classics of yesteryear.  
  
Charlie Brown lovers of all ages should consider this a must-purchase DVD this holiday season. This Warner Home Video studio release is currently available for purchase wherever DVDs are sold.  
  
*Elmo's Christmas Countdown*  
  
Various Sesame Street characters and best friends of the ever-popular Elmo help him count down the number of days leading up to Christmas in this DVD release.  
  
However, Elmo and his friends encounter a serious problem that jeopardizes Christmas as the ten numbered boxes they use for the countdown become lost from Stiller the Elf's Christmas Counter Downer.  
  
Your children, especially those who are already huge fans of Elmo, will surely love this new Christmas themed release. Watch as Elmo and his friends do everything in their power to save Christmas and ensure that their tradition of counting down the days leading up to it stays alive.  
  
*Elmo's Christmas Countdown*, a Sesame Street studio release, will be available for purchase nationwide on October 14.  
  
*Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas*  
  
Alvin, Simon and Theodore, the three most prominent and popular chipmunks in children's entertainment history, are featured in this Christmas release.  
  
This release, like the aforementioned Charlie Brown/Peanuts DVD, is a terrific holiday season purchase option for parents who grew up watching Alvin and the Chipmunks as kids and who want to give their children the opportunity to see them as they once did.  
  
The chipmunks, as usual, get into many various antics and Alvin's newfound generosity that he can attribute to the Christmas spirit gets him into a bit of trouble with Dave. After giving away his harmonica to a sick child, he realizes that his upcoming performance at Carnegie Hall may now be ruined!  
  
This Paramount studio DVD release is available for purchase wherever DVDs are sold.
