Product Description:
Amazon.com:
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

Rating: - Great movie
This movie is very touching. Of course it isn’t like today’s movie, maybe that is why I love it so. I saw this movie when I was a little girl every Christmas. This movie hit home as I too was a little girl without her mother. I didn’t watch this movie for a very long time as it did make me upset. When I found it available on Amazon.com, I purchased it right away. SO glad I did.
I hope you enjoy this wonderful wholesome movie as much as I did. Remember it was made before all the computer … Read More

- Brings back memories
This was a favorite movie of mine and my sisters as we grew up. She managed to find it on VHS a few years ago and gave me one for christmas. I no longer have a VHS player, so wanted it on DVD. I will say, as much as we love it, my mother asked me to bring it to a Christmas party, and it is kind of a party stopper. Not meant for fun entertainment, but a great old fashion movie filled with great memories.
Rating: - Awesome Christmas Movie
This is such an incredible movie. I was Addie’s age when it came out
and we were not allowed a Christmas tree, either (though for a different reason), so it really pulled at me. It still does. I feel like I am in 1946 and a silent witness to their lives. I am sorry for those who cannot see the magic of this film, and the simple beauty of it. No, it is not a slick Hollywood flick. It is a lovely story, told in a charming manner. It is one of my top 2 Christmas movies. Buy this and treasure it.
Rating: - Nostalgia…
My children and I first watched this movie more than 20 years when it was a Hallmark Hall of Fame television movie. It’s not a “happy” Christmas movie, but a hopeful one and worth watching. It brought back memories of holidays past and I’m so happy that this movie was re-released.
Rating: - THEY DON’T MAKE ‘EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE !!
What can I say? An absolute CLASSIC !! This is a show that was filmed in a kind of play form - which just makes it that more special. It’s heartwarming, without being gooey, funny, serious and meaningful all at the same time. Get this and watch it with your kids so they know what a QUALITY show is - not the stuff they show today. I’ve seen this when I was a child and it stuck with me through adulthood - it made that much of an impact. FYI - all of the other “Addie” shows are the same. I highly recommend … Read More
