Is it Halloween yet? Although it will be fun trick or treating this year with my toddler I am anxious for Halloween to pass and to start getting in full gear for the holidays. It is that time of the year when all of the new holiday releases are coming out and Dora’s Christmas Carol Adventure already hit stores earlier this month.
What’s even more exciting is that a Dora’s Christmas CD was also released so you can enjoy holiday tunes from the DVD and with a Dora twist. We have already been dancing to it in the living room and my daughter, who already loves “Jingle Bells” anytime of the year was thrilled to hear a Dora version.
The DVD also has some bonus footage and brand new packaging including an Advent calendar so your family can count down to the big day! I love the holidays and this holiday feature is well-loved in our home. Who better than my daughter’s beloved Dora and Boots to help teach her about sharing, cleaning up, making good choices and spreading holiday cheer? It calls for my daughter’s favorite “We Did it!” dance and cheer!

Dora the Explorer, created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh Valdes and Eric Weiner, is a play-along, animated adventure series starring Dora (Caitlin Sanchez). Dora is a seven-year-old Latina heroine whose adventures take place in an imaginative, tropical world filled with jungles, beaches and rainforests. She explores her world just as preschoolers do everyday, and the show is designed to actively engage its audience in an interactive quest using a variety of learning techniques.
In every episode, Dora and Boots (Regan Mizrahi) invite the audience to participate in an exciting adventure, where each step of their journey consists of a problem or puzzle that Dora and the audience must think their way through in order to solve the next problem. Dora is proudly bilingual and uses her knowledge of English and Spanish to communicate with her friends, overcome obstacles and reach her goals. In each episode, Dora teaches Spanish words or phrases to the viewers and then asks them to use it to solve a problem and forge ahead. Ultimately, Dora and her best friend, Boots, triumph, and the story always ends with a “We Did It!” anthem.

We actually avoid most holiday music. lol. i really don't like it. We watch a few of the holiday specials like Rudolf the rednose reindeer and frosty the snowman, but that's about it.
