The Herdmans are the worst family in town, they curse, steal, and bully all the neighborhood kids. But when they get involved in the local Christmas Pageant, wacky insanity and chaos ensue. This is one of my favorite holiday stories from childhood and every year at this time, I pull out a paperback copy of the book and reread it. A totally happy, heartwarming story that reminds me of what it feels like to giggle like a 2nd grader, again.
Check out this mini-movie I found on YouTube, edited down from the 1983 TV movie, starring Loretta Swit and Fairuza Balk. It doesn't really focus on the awesome, funny parts that made it such a memorable story. Instead the mini-movie is a bit sentimental, but still worth checking out if you remember watching it as a kid.
