We watch this movie as a family, every year come Christmas time. Interestingly, it is set in the 1940s/50s, but the events, which happened during that setting seem to still happen now 60 years laters! We laugh about it, but most importantly connect to it. ...

What a wonderful collectors item, my family loves the Christmas story, and with the addition of a cook book plus apron, well beyond what I expected. ...
by C. Gorden on January 19, 2009
Of course, a fantastic movie that is played throughout the holidays in our home. An added bonus here is the tin in which the movie comes, which my wife has cleverly mixed in with the rest of our holiday decorations. Also, the leg lamp lights are great, ...
