Little People, Big World: Christmas Episode
The Roloff family with Zach, Amy, Matt and Jacob on the front row and Molly and Jeremy on the back row.
I saw the Season Four finale of Little People, Big World yesterday afternoon and it was a heartwarming episode as 25 relatives gathered at the Roloff Farms home of Matt and Amy Roloff.
It was a traditional Christmas celebration with a turkey dinner being served and Santa Claus (really Matt’s father) distributed presents which were Christmas ornaments Molly had designed for each guest.
They even had a photographer to take photos of all 25 members of the extended Roloff family. Matt’s sister and brother were there along with their families.
Amy spreads fake snow around the yard to make it seem even more like Christmas.
This program shows that little people can overcome almost insurmountable odds and have a happy and productive life.
