This is such a cute movie!  The girls love any movies that have dogs as the stars of the movie!  They have already watched this one several times and I have watched it twice myself.

The Search For Santa Paws is a great story of the power of giving and Christmas.  Some of you may have already seen Santa Buddies: The Legend of Santa Paws.  This is a favorite of my girls, so they were thrilled to watch The Search for Santa Paws since it is the prequel and shows how the friendship of Santa Claus and Santa Paws began.

There is a sweet little orphan named Quinn in the movie.  She looked so familiar to me that I had to look her up to confirm where I knew her from.  Her name is Kaitlyn Maher and I recognized her for her adorable performance on America’s Got Talent.  She is so darn cute!

Quinn, along with some new friends shows the world what Christmas is all about!  I’m not going to give you anymore than that because I don’t want to spoil it.  It is a good movie for the family and your young children will definitely enjoy it.

The Search for Santa Paws will be released on Blu-Ray & DVD tomorrow!  Watch the trailer below…

“Someone once told me that the spirit of Christmas is embodied in the hearts of children, untouched as of yet by the doubts, fears and disappointments of the adult world.”

–Santa Claus in “The Search for Santa Paws”

Whether you’re nine or ninety-nine, Santa Claus likely still holds a special place in your heart. Maybe you remember sitting on his knee at your local mall as a child or writing—and re-writing—him a letter asking for a dollhouse or red wagon. Many of us remember staying up past midnight in hopes of catching a glimpse of him as he came down your chimney.

As parents, we pass down the stories and traditions of Santa Claus. Even if we can’t think of a logical explanation as to how he visits every home on one night or why there are so many Santa look-alikes all around town each December, it is important that we support the true meaning of Christmas and the Santa Cause. Kids ask us tough questions all the time, and this one, like many others, is onethat doesn’t come with a clear-cut answer. The simplest thing is to tell your children to have faith and to just believe. Children love magic, so if you just explain that Santa is magical, that should hopefully help them understand the underlying spirit of Christmas.

Santa Claus is a wonderful tradition, and establishingtraditions in your family that get passed down from generation to generation—such as baking cookies for Santa and his elves each Christmas Eve or leaving carrots out for his reindeer—helps create a bond between you and your children. It also makes the holiday more meaningful, memorable and fun for kids, who otherwise might complain about wearing a coat and tie to Christmas Eve dinner at grandma’s. So despite the fact that logic may tell you otherwise, make a point of teaching your children about Santa Claus, his 8 tiny reindeer, his sleigh, his workshop and of course, his best friend, Paws.
