The Christmas List

Since this movie came out in 1997, it has aired at least once a year, and I have yet to miss it. It's just that good! This is one of my favorite movies... Christmas or otherwise. Mimi Rogers gives an incredible performance. This is a feel-good movie. The writers of "The Christmas List" are incredibly creative. This movie just fits together wonderfully. I absolutely recommend this movie.

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 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 liked Mimi playing a woman somewhat down on her luck. She wants very much to better herself, but things don't go her way....until she writes her Christmas list. Even then she still has problems: an overbearing boss, a fruitcake mother, a totally anal boyfriend, and a bitchy co-worker. Then she falls in love. One of the better holiday films.

A perfume saleswoman (Mimi Rogers) whose life isn't going so well makes a list of things she wants for Christmas and, one by one, gets everything on her list. In the process, she discovers the truth to that old saying, " Be careful what you wish for...".

This film will never win any Oscars or Emmys and it's pretty easy to spot some of its problems. However, it's a movie with a lot of heart and a good performance by Mimi Rogers as the dowdy protagonist.

My wife and I recorded the film when it first aired on the Family Channel and watch it periodically throughout the year. It really lifts your spirits!
