The loss of a loved one is never easy and memories often make the holiday season especially difficult. Addie (Lisa Lucas) lost her mother when she was very young and, while she sometimes yearns for her mother, she is a happy well-adjusted ten-year old who wants nothing more than to have a Christmas tree in the living room. Addie's father (Jason Robards) absolutely refuses to have a Christmas tree in the house, but offers no explanation for his stubborn resolve which leads Addie to question his motives and his love for her. It falls to Addie's Grandmother (Mildred Natwick) to explain that her father is still immersed in grief over the loss of his wife and that the memories of Christmases past are simply too painful for him to endure. When Addie wins a tree at school, her father is enraged by both the presence of the tree in his home and the idea of his family accepting charity. Only by opening a line of communication and sharing their feelings and memories with one another can Addie and her father reconcile their differences and begin to understand one another. Set in 1964, this 1972 made-for-television special feels like a stage play with sets and scenery that evoke the essence of an age-gone-by. The message, of course, is timeless. (Ages 5 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

I asked for this for Christmas because I remembered watching it with my parents on tv as a kid. This movie isnt on tv anymore.
Its not a high quality movie compared to today's standards but it is a really good story with a nice lesson.

Oh what memories!
Rated G. This was originaly aired on television at Christmastime back in the early 70's. We watched it every year. It was videotaped similar to all those shows on CBS like All in the Family, Maude, and the Jeffersons. Very dark set lighting and cheesy innocence of the 70's. If you can get past that, the story is very endearing, kinda sad, but has a happy ending with the sterotypical lessons learned.
Good for the entire family

It's a pretty good Christmas movie. More about good motives etc. and the tugging of the heart, which is certainly part of Christmas. I would always prefer more about Jesus in Christmas. After all it is His birthday. But the movie is great entertainment and is inspiring.

This program used to air on TV at the Christmas holiday and eventually got bounced.
It's a good reminder to look back at when people had basics. . . ONE BOX of Christmas ornaments; Grandma making cookies for the neighbors.
Those were the meaningful days when having anything meant a lot.

This is a very sweet and nostalgic story, of a young girl who has never been allowed to have a Christmas Tree, in the home she and her father share with her grandmother. Her father has never explained why he won't allow a tree in the house, so Abby tries many ploys, to get one on her own.This story is a simple one, set in the 1940s, I believe,when life was much simpler, and it did not take much, to make Christmas a loving and happy occasion. The film stars Jason Robards, and Mildred Natwick, and ... Read More
