The Gift of Love: A Christmas Story

would love to see this movie again - either on tv or available in video.

i have looked for it every year and have been unable to find it.

it is a warm and tender story of the power of true love.

My mother recorded this tv movie when it played and i recorded over it.Tried finding it for many years after without any luck.This story reminded my mom of her mother,a heart warming story of love and family at xmas time,it wasn't IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE but to my mother it was a piece of her younger days with her mother caught on film.Hope to see it again someday.

I remember seeing this movie years ago and I wonder why it has never played on any of the cable stations. It is deeply moving and the acting is excellent. Polly Holliday is incandescent as the spinster aunt and she managed to do something that is virtually impossible. She moved me to tears. A wonderful, warm gem of a film. How I miss Lee Remick! She died too young and we have been deprived of her ample acting talent and wonderful presence. I do hope that one of the cable networks airs this movie one of these holiday seasons. It is one of the very best TV films made, hands down, IMO!

simple, small town, going back to where you are from...a movie i can watch over and over again - and hope to as long as my tape lasts. the message about the "secret place" is one that i take to heart in my own marriage. every once in awhile a movie just hits all the buttons that make it heart-warming, this movie does it in a subtle, but effective way.

This is a wonderful movie and its a shame people cannot buy it in the store or catch it on tv. My boyfriends grandma wanted this movie really bad so her daughter and I looked and looked for it. I was lucky enough to find it, and now I can give her this wonderful gift for her birthday coming up in February. I'm glad she wanted this movie or I would probably have never got to see it. It seems most people have really forgotten the true meaning of Christmas, and they take for granted things they shouldn't. Maybe if more people watched this movie they might think of their lives and be happy for what they have, instead of complaining of what they don't have. It seems like a lot of people who live alone are quite crabby like the aunt. Most people just think they are crabby and dont want to go around them but this movie shows that all they really want is to be loved. This is a great movie and Im glad I have it.
