Dove Review

In 1874 life was rough for young pioneers in the Dakota’s. Dave and Molly lost their first-born child and each keeps their grief to themselves instead of working through it with each other. So they help their friends and neighbors though tough times, for example the railroad taking land and a family without a woman as the head of the household. Together the group aids each other.

This story brings a message of friendship, helping others in time of need and how important it is for a couple to work out their grief together. The latter is very important because grief is a hard thing when there is a loss of a child. Couples need to talk together and not bottle it up inside.

“Young Pioneers Christmas” is a tale of a time in history that we can learn from and the movie is entertaining. It is a timeless story that shows how Christmas is a great time for healing, family and friends. We award this DVD the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for all ages.
