  as a lover of all things christmas, this dvd caught my eye at the rental store where i work. i was surprised how much i enjoyed the story, especially the acting of young jenna boyd and tom bosley.

  this is a sweet film and looks especially good for ‘made for tv.’

  i also enjoyed the commentary by director john schneider… it was mostly technical but i found hearing about his tricks to work under time constraints and a small budget interesting. he mentions his feeling that we need more family friendly movies… and i wholeheartedly agree. i’ll take a little syrupy sweetness that uplifts over something that brings my spirit down any day.

  i’ll be adding this to my christmas film collection.

  a perennial, December 3, 2004

  I bought this movie a month ago and have watched it four times already! It stands up to it. This is a rare find. The story has a touch of Santa-magic about it, but is not ridiculously unreal. And the underlying story–about a child who wants a mommy for Christmas–is compelling and heartwarming. The remarkable thing is that this is done so well. None of the hostility and bad casting that add a sour note to other Christmas movies. Also, if the mother-daughter story is especially poignant for you, read the novel A Thanksgiving Miracle). This movie will renew your faith in just about everything and give you a positive outlook to face another day.
