    More than magic, a must see for all who seek to see Jesus.

    One of the most spirited Christmas short movies ever viewed. The setting captures the realness of the late 40s early 50s. The young boy's performance brings back childhood memories. My faith has been renewed due to the vision present in the movie. I rewound the movie at the point of the vision appearance and ask my girlfriend to look for this vision when I played the movie sequence again. She also saw the vision. I have searched the internet far and wide. I have found not one review of this movie anywhere. Absolutely miraculous before your very eyes; Jesus appears. If miracles are occurring the time must be nigh. Everyone must see and confirm. 12/22/2012

    A bit hard to believe...but very sweet.

    "Christmas Is Magic" is an episode of "Your Jewelers Showcase"...a 1950s anthology show. It stars Robert Hutton and Frances Rafferty.

    When the story begins, you see that Brad and Julie have been dating, but you immediately dislike him, as Brad is cynical and a jerk. However, soon she and her son meet mr. John Doe...an amnesiac who felt compelled to leave his train and go to the city...as if there's something familiar about the town. Soon she and Julie and her son bond and are happy together. Why? Well, John might just be Julie's husband who was lost in the war....maybe.

    The is a very nice installment and is well worth watching. My only complaint is how quickly things took place in this one...meaning it might have been better than a full-length film. Still, it's well worth seeing if you're not the cynical type.

    second chance

    A single mother, widow, and her hope about relation with not the most pleasant man.

    A stranger near Christmas tree in public market of town, very kind with her little boy.

    A night together - his crumbs of memories - he is affected by amnesia - and beautiful new chance to happy life for each of them.

    Easy to define it as sentimental or pretty unrealistic. But, for so many reasons, beautiful.
