A Very Goofy Christmas - Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas

A Very Goofy Christmas
Part of
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas




Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas is a collection of three stories. There is Donald Duck: Stuck On Christmas, A Very Goofy Christmas and Mickey & Minnie’s Gift of the Magi.

A Very Goofy Christmas follows Goofy and Max as they get ready for Christmas Day. Goofy in his usual caring, giving self and tries to show Max the true reason for Christmas. Goofy and Max help each other remember to have faith.

Goofy and Max have sent off their letters to Santa. They are working hard at getting the house decorated and ready for Santa’s annual visit. Their neighbor, Pete makes things difficult for them but Goofy perseveres.

After getting ready Goofy and Max go to visit a neighbor family. On the way Max asks Goofy why they are taking the meal and doing all of this when Santa is coming that night and can bring it all. Goofy says, “Well, Santa is busy right now and we are just helping him out.”



This family is having a hard time. Goofy brings the meal and plays Santa for the kids. Max finds out his dad is playing Santa and stops believing in Santa. Goofy works hard at trying to make Max believe and even writes, “Don’t forget Max” in the snow so Santa will see and know to stop.

After many mishaps, finally Goofy stops believing as well. Max can’t stand to see his usually happy go lucky father so sad so he tries to cheer up his dad and plays Santa himself and is caught. Finally Santa does arrive and all is well.

There are several points to walk away with from this short Christmas tale. Believe even when there is not actually proof. Stay positive even when all around it is falling apart or people mess you up. Care for those around you, especially those in need.

It is Caring for Others I want to talk about right now. There are many verses where Christians are called to care for others. Here are a few.

Proverbs 21:12
If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered” (NIV)

1 Corinthians 16:14
Do everything in love. (NIV)

Deuteronomy 15:7-11
If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of your gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother, but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs. Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, “The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,: and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and he cry out to the Lord against you, and it become a sin among you. You shall surely give to him, your heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand. For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, “You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.” (NKJV)


What I want to encourage you is to reach out and care for others. God says when we reach out and give without holding back God will bless you. Goofy was blessed with friendship and support. He was blessed with the love of his son. Santa does come and give them exactly what they wanted. Our caring for others will be blessed with friendship and loving family just like Goofy. How much more will God bless us for our obedience?
