All the best Christmas adventures from Odyssey -- plus 2 episodes never-before-released! Sep 23, 2005
GIFTS FOR MADGE AND GUY (Giving) Mr. Whittaker tells the kids his own "fractured" version of a famous Christmas story, and explains what makes giving -- or getting -- a present really special.
PEACE ON EARTH (The true reason for Christmas) When the Barclay family wakes up to an unusual Christmas morning, they discover the real meaning behind the holiday and the true meaning of "peace."
THE VISITORS (Charity) The Barclay's Christmas celebration is disrupted by the arrival of three unexpected guests.
WHERE'S YOUR DADDY? (Compassion) Whit, Tom and Connie set out to help local families of prison inmates this Christmas, and discover one right in their midst.
THE LIVING NATIVITY (Christmas traditions) A Nativity display at Odyssey's City Hall sparks a controversy over the "separation of church and state".
A TIME FOR CHRISTMAS (The history of Christmas) Courtney sees Christmas as a time for presents, but Whit takes her on an Imagination Station tour of Christmases past to show her how the holiday -- and its meaning -- have developed over the years.
IT'S A POKENBERRY CHRISTMAS, PARTS I AND II (Feeling discouraged) It's Christmas time in Pokenberry Falls, but there's no peace on earth for George Barclay. Conflicts at his church have led him to wish that he'd never become a pastor there. In a strage twist, he seems to get his wish! Through it, he learns that it's God - not circumstances - that make life wonderful.
BTV: REDEEMING THE SEASON (The history of Christmas traditions) Where did all those Christmas traditions come from? Join Bernard in another fun BTV special and see where the legend of Saint Nicholas and other customs began. You may be surprised at how this holiday has been redeemed.
THE POPSICLE KID (Uniqueness) Colby is a kid who loves to create things out of popsicle sticks and Rodney has lots to say about how strange Colby is. From the annual Christmas party at Whit's End to the town's big Model Car Derby, learn why it's great to be "Most Original."
A LAMB'S TALE (Sacrifice) Tamika donates her beloved lamb to a local toy drive and then decides she really wants it back. We follow the lamb's tale throughout the story and find that her original sacrifice is exactly what she needed to do.
Plus these never-before-released episodes...
CAROLING, CAROLING (The joys of Christmas) As a special Christmas treat, Whit and Connie take several kids from Whit's End on a wonderful sleigh ride through Odyssey and out to Tom Riley's farm. They all learn several new holiday songs (including one by Eugene called "Seasonal Felicitations") and rediscover the "reason for the season": Jesus.
("Seasonal Felicitations" can also be heard on the musical album 'Eugene Sings Christmas', search this site to find.)
LOS VISITANTES (Charity) This Spanish version of "The Visitors" is the only Odyssey episode fully dramatized in Spanish!
