This has become a yearly tradition for me to view this gem after discovering it about three years ago. Griffith is the tough but fair father, while Brett Palmer delivers as the introspective young son. There are hints that this is set in the Depression, which gives it a somewhat bleak feel. However, the characters are thankful and resourceful. Tav has faith that things will turn around and that special things can happen anywhere, "even in a barn," he adds after reading from Luke 2 on Christmas Eve with his family. The film captures the coldness of the season and that bite in the air at 5 AM. It also puts you in the mood for ham and eggs, with a glass of fresh, whole milk. A must watch every Christmas season.
This short film is every bit as bad as the reviewers here say it is, but I love every minute of it. Each character has such a delicious amount of cheese to them. The only one lacking personality is the nurse. She's the most boring character. It was great seeing Jack McHaney and Donnie Keshawarz from The Pretender (1987), and Keith Salter hams it up even more than he did in The Daylight Zone (1986). The dinner looked good too, despite the cheap paper plates. I want some of that pizza the cook made with the special sauce.
