A fabulous Christmas movie

This was a made for TV movie from the 70s... But this was back when made for TV movies were fabulous. This Christmas movie with Ed Asner will not disappoint! A must watch for the Christmas Season. It's out on DVD now and I watch it every year at Christmas. I had an old DVD which was copied from a VHS tape for years. Thank goodness they came out with a new version. This and The Waltons movie A Homecoming are 2 wonderful made for TV movies which are must see if you are a Christmas movie buff like me!
