The Gift of Love: A Christmas Story

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.

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.

This movie used to air every Christmas Evening for a few years. I was getting used to watching it every year, then they stopped broadcasting it. Lee Remick was one of my favorite actresses, and this is a great feel-good Christmas movie. I just wish there was a way to get a copy of this movie. My favorite scene was when the boy fell into the pond and how it changed everyone.

I first saw this film in 1986 and really liked it. After that, I watched every Christmas for it to reappear on TV, but it never did. Then, about 3 years ago, I saw a listing for it in the TV Guide. It was on a local channel really late at night. I taped it, and now I watch it just about every year. I love Angela Lansbury in it, and I love the message of hope. For those of you who can't find the movie anywhere, take heart! It may just appear on your local station one year. You might even consider contacting them and asking them to run it.
