The Christmas List

This is the story of a perfume counter saleswoman who puts a Christmas List in Santa's mailbox at the store she works in. Her wishes begin to come true, but they all have a slight twist to them when they do. This is a movie that manages to intertwine Christmas, fantasy, romance, and realism. Mimi Rogers does a superb job in the role she plays. This movie even throws in the "guy gets the girl and they live happily ever after" at the end for us hopeless romantics. Wish it was out on video or DVD, I would love to have a copy of it to keep with all the other Christmas Classics.

This is one of my favorite holiday movies! As far as I know it isn't as well known as the other Christmas movies, but it is just as good! Mimi Rodgers does beautifully as the main character, Melody Parris. Danny, the boy she befriends while working at the department store is also perfect. I could tell from just watching this movie it looked like they had a lot of fun making it. April Mae was also good as the character you love to hate. A fun film, watch it with your best friend!

This is such a wonderful Christmas movie. I would love to have it on DVD. Mimi Rogers is wonderful in it, Stella Stevens is her funny mom, Bill is such a cute and touching boy and Rob is a hottie. The story is giving, touching and just so great to watch it... Bill plays a boy named Danny who visits the perfume counter at the local department store. He wants to buy a bottle of his mothers favorite perfume, his mother past away and he wants to remember what she smelled like. Mimi who plays Meloday is the perfume lady and she helps Danny pick out the perfume, Danny doesn't know the name of the perfume. They develop this friendship, Meloday meets Danny's father David and it just gets better from there. I make sure every time it's played on Fox Family during the 25 Days Of Christmas, I am glued to the t.v. It's a great show to snuggle up with a hot cup of coco, fire blazing in the fire place and The Christmas List. It's a must see movie....

I LOVED this movie! It's a very enjoyable, feel-good movie, and it lifts my spirits every time I watch it! It has become one of my "Christmas classics", like the original "Miracle on 34th Street". Mimi Rogers was *excellent*. Enuka Okuma as her friend, Stella Stevens as her mother, Rob Stewart as her romantic interest, and Marla Maples as her (sort-of) competition, were all very enjoyable to watch. I hope more people get to see it and enjoy it as I have.

...as well as a holiday tradition! Kudos to Merv Griffin Enterprises...

Who can not love Melody Parris, the main character? Yet, the main point of the story is how everything came together for her when she decided not to 'wait' for anything anymore. It was only when Melody stopped wishing and actually did something that all the pieces fell into place: like going to that swanky restaurant even though she had no escort, and joining in the fun with the other diners.

Favorite moment: Melody's honest, heartfelt plea to the cops who were about to tow her car away - 'if you take away that car, you will ruin whatever luck I have', or words to that effect. And you know...it worked! Second most favorite moment: Melody dumping dinner in George's lap.

I'll never get tired of watching this one. And, for the record, I still watch 'It's A Wonderful Life', though many have gotten sick of it, sad to say.
