I received a copy to facilitate this review, however all opinions expressed are my own.

THE NAUGHTY LIST released on DVD and VOD on November 12, 2013 
Two young elves, WINTER and SNOWFLAKE (It’s a boy elf name!!!) have a hard time following the rules and are prone to sneaking off for some good elf playtime. But after wrecking the North Pole's official Christmas tree, the two elf brothers along with a rebellious reindeer named SPARKLE find themselves on the dreaded Naughty List.  They are forced to do mundane horrible tasks like washing windows, cleaning bathrooms and more but seem to always make a bigger mess than they had to begin with. After the group is regulated to kitchen duty, they somehow manage to give the whole North Pole food poisoning including Santa!  Now with only hours to go before Christmas, they are the only ones left to help save Christmas.
Such a fun movie. I can assure you your little ones will enjoy all the cute stories of the two young elves. They are in the naughty list and they have to do chores. And when they almost ruined Christmas they need to figure out a way to turn things around. A great DVD for the holidays and a different story line that my son really loved.

The giveaway

Two (2) My Life is a Journey readers have the opportunity to win a copy of the DVD. Just enter the rafflecopter below. Good luck!
