Christmas Dreams: A World of Wonder was the brain child of director and creator, Doug Austen.  Christmas has always been a big deal in the Austen house, whether it was lots of decorations (Clark Griswold would be proud), or Mom’s crocheted stocking (which Santa still fills e;very year), or lots of great comfort food (macaroni & cheese comes to mind), or most importantly — family.  Christmas allows even the oldest among us to be a child again, and even the adults in the cast  get to act silly and be kids again.
