"The Christmas Gift" is Perfect November 28, 2008
Rebecca Bassich
The Feeling of Christmas....It may be something we've all lost touch with over the years. Especially after discovering that Santa Claus wasn't "real" in those younger days. Today, that feeling of joy and warmth I've lost touch with for so long now, came back into my heart. It made me feel wonderful. I felt like a little girl again. It came back to me while watching "The Christmas Gift". I'd have to say it's my favorite Christmas movie ever, right next to that old black and white film "Miracle on 34th Street" that I loved so much during my childhood. To me, that movie served as a testament to my firm belief in Santa, as well as the joy that comes in the true spirit of Christmas. Today I found a movie that gave a similar message, only it was deeper than that. Christmas isn't just a holiday. It's a Feeling. It's that spirit of Love and Giving. And boy, it feels good to remember those feelings. To relive them. It's so nice. Like finding a piece of yourself that you remembered, but had long forgotten to feel. John Denver, and all those people in the film, were perfectly cast. Wonderful people.

Classic collector item. Wonderful John Denver Christmas movie.
Too bad someone does not offer it in DVD format.

Very hard to find classic movie which we have been looking to purchase since it was on TV. Unfortunately, the video quality is 'fair'and not any better than our original recordin. Hopefully, some day it will be remastered into DVD format.

I keep checking to see if they have put this movie on DVD yet...what's the holdup? This is my favorite Christmas movie! It reminds us that we all need to slow down and watch the snow! The way Georgetown was decorated reminds me of how my old hometown used to be decorated. It's wonderful to see all of their lives in Georgetown intermingled...they cared about each other and about their town! Of course, Johnny Denver is one of my favorite singers and his acting in this movie is outstanding. The other actors and actresses were perfect for this move as well! My VHS is wearing out...please put on DVD!

I am a Christmas movie addict, but if forced to choose only one Christmas movie, this would be my pick! I love everything about this movie from the stars (John Denver, Jane Kacmarek, Gennie James) to the setting (Georgetown, Colorado) to the story (big-city father and daughter help save small, folksy town and learn the real meaning of Christmas). This is a classic that I have enjoyed for years. I wish it would come out on DVD -- my VHS is wearing out and I dread the day that it wears out. I will be devastated. At any rate, I highly recommend this movie. It is a beautiful Christmas classic. I feel like I am stepping back in time and into a better place every time I watch it.
