WHAT A WONDERFUL GIFT TO GIVE

This is a wonderful movie and its a shame people cannot buy it in the store or catch it on tv. My boyfriends grandma wanted this movie really bad so her daughter and I looked and looked for it. I was lucky enough to find it, and now I can give her this wonderful gift for her birthday coming up in February. I'm glad she wanted this movie or I would probably have never got to see it. It seems most people have really forgotten the true meaning of Christmas, and they take for granted things they shouldn't. Maybe if more people watched this movie they might think of their lives and be happy for what they have, instead of complaining of what they don't have. It seems like a lot of people who live alone are quite crabby like the aunt. Most people just think they are crabby and dont want to go around them but this movie shows that all they really want is to be loved. This is a great movie and Im glad I have it.
