One of my favorite Christmas movies......
After watching this movie many times on the television I decided to purchase it so I could watch it throughout the entire year. This is one "feel good" Christmas movies. If you haven't seen it.....you need to.

A Holiday for Love
We got the movie because we enjoyed Melissa Gilbert in Little House. She's good as an adult actor too and this story is fun and emotionally satisfying. If you've seen "Christmas Romance" you'll see a similar story line with this "Holiday for Love". It's nice to see a movie without all the swearing and inappropriate stuff often found in movies.

A Holiday for Love
Our family collects Christmas movies, and around the holidays, we watch nothing else. This is quickly becoming one of our absolute favorites. Melissa Gilbert and Tim Matheson have sweet charming chemistry, and are well paired for this film. Travis Tritt's performance was a surprise to me. I didn't know how well he acted, and loved his character.
This is a heartwarming inspirational movie, and one to be viewed over and over again especially around the holidays or when you just need to feel better.

Christmas Movies
Came in new condition. It's a romantic Christmas movie and I love watching Christmas Movies. I collect them because during the Holiday I hate not getting the chance to watch all my favorites.

Why does this movie keep going out of print?
This movie appears to have everything: good story, important theme, popular stars; and already it is out of print again. Why?
The characters with one exception are appealing, and the casting with one exception is excellent. Melissa and Tim are stars you like and root for. Tim's character is caught in a quandary between loyalty to his company and loyalty to his new-found love, Melissa. There appears to be no way to resolve this irreconcilable conflict. The ending is smashing.
So, what is it? This is the third incarnation of this movie and already it is out of print again. Why?
The answer is obvious to most people. Here we have a story set in a small town in Nebraska, about ordinary farm people who have lived there all their lives. So, how did this woman farmer have a kid with a strong California accent and diction out of the Bronx and not a hint of Midwest about her? On top of that, this child is repugnant. It isn't merely her fish-face, but her manner.
Top that off with the chorus that sings deliberately way out of tune and out of sync, and this kid is leading them. It is grating, and it is a bad idea. People can drag it and sing without spirit when they're depressed, and then with more spirit at the end, but they don't sing out of tune and then suddenly become musicians.
The screenwriter and executive producer, Darrah Cloud, has to bear the responsibility. She put up the money to have her screenplay produced. She could have prevented this atrocity of casting, but didn't. Why?
Bottom line: see it anyway, but keep your remote handy ready to hit the Fast Forward button.

This should be released
anew, because it's one of the loveliest, best made X-mas movie. I've bought it used and it quickly advanced to my absolute favourites. Very good acting, good script, the story is even highly up to date with people loosing their jobs not just here in Germany. One would wish there were more people like Jake coming to their senses, at least trying make things better. Very nice dream!
