question
My little boy absolutely loved the movie, though. They used to show it every year on TV and for some reason they have quit showing it. My boy is devastated and I would really like to get it for him to be able to see.
Does anybody know where i can get a copy of this movie?
Another Rip Off Of "Groundhog Day"
A self-absorbed 13-year-old (Erik von Detten) reliving Christmas, day after day, until he appreciates its meaning.
He pouts about gifts he doesn't want. Realities he doesn't want to see and little sister that is just a pain in the butt to him.
This is OKAY at best. However what it does show the viewer is the fact we will keep repeating mistakes if we don't learn from them. Those mistakes might not exactly repeat themselves in the same way but if you don't learn from them they will manifest somewhere.
What I like best about this film was that Christmas is more "Than gifts and giving gifts". "Its the giving of your time" how we "Treat One Another".
Family Safe.
Hilarious!
Watch this movie. It can give you a real, good laugh!
A Groundhog Day for the Christmas Season
Wonderful movie...gets me in the spirit every year!
Young Billy just isn't in the spirit anymore. Due to a fateful wish his sister purposed to engage in Christmas every single day, Billy and his family (although he is in the only one who knows) engages in Christmas every single day for four of five days.
Some laughs.
The seconds manger scene was rather funny. And just some small quirky comments here and there. Oh yes. And of course I got a kick out of Billy's rich, spoiled cousin who was suppose to spend the day at Tinsel Town, but found herself in the prescene of carrots, mashed potatos, and peas instead.
A lesson.
To appreciate Christmas. To appreciate family. To appreciate life. To appreciate that this jubilant day can come but only once a year.
I love this movie and am so glad that ABCFamily airs it every year. I only wish it were out on VHS or DVD to buy. Maybe you can and I just don't know it?

- TriviaThe plot is similar to the Sesame Street Christmas movie, Elmo Saves Christmas, which came out on video that same year.
- GoofsFull green trees are in full view in the background when Billy is at the basketball court playing ball with Joey and the others, and also when he is practicing his jump shot in the front yard.
