Summary: Great video for all ages to enjoy!!
Review: I have shown this film to a group of detained juveniles. Several were crying before the end. It touched even these youth who have had great difficulties in life. I hope to be able to purchase a copy to share with my grandchildren. Please bring it back. It causes you to reflect on what the season is about.

When the mother goes to the post box she meets an angel called Gideon and the story is about how Gideon proves to the mother that Santa is real. Review by Victoria Maire

Summary: One Magic Christmas Is Excellent
Review: This is an excellent movie for the whole family. It is about a family who isn't very wealthy, and the daughter has an encounter with an angel. I don't want to spoil the rest. If you happen to see that it is going to be on TV, don't miss it.

Summary: A Peek into an Alternate Reality
Review: So many Christmas movies come at us at the end of November and December that I tape all of the Christmas movies and my wife and I work them in when we can. I taped this one from tv and we watched it 2 or 3 days ago. It was surprisingly good, better than we thought from the listed description. My wife enjoyed it in spite of her not liking too much fantasy and she hates anything that looks like time travel, or alternate reality. Harry Dean Stanton is a long time character actor acting in what must be almost 100 movies. I thought he looked more like the Shadow in my old comic books of the 40's than an angel but he pulled it off very well, performing a little magic now and then. The story was hard and realistic. Mary Steenburgen is one of my favorite actresses, having seen her in many movies, and is currently starring in "Joan of Arcadia," a popular series. She played a sad mom very convincingly. I did have to rewind a time or two to get the sense of when the alternate time changed. This is a movie you have to pay attention to while it is running. TV version.

Summary: Believing Can Be Everything
Review: This is a movie that refects what stress and money can do to an individual around the holiday season, and how one persons actions can create a turmoil of events to themselves and those around them. When you think you are down and out, just watch this movie to see how wonderful life really is and the importance of believing. Enjoy, its a really good one!

Summary: A Different Take On a Similar Theme
Review: This is a very different kind of Christmas movie than most of us are used to. The theme is one we have become familiar with -- someone, in this case the mom, has lost her Christmas spirit and belief in Santa. The husband, however, holds onto his and wants their two children to keep theirs.The remainder of the film, however, is a departure from most films. First of all, the family is an ordinary working class one with some money worries. Next, the angel is not what we're used to seeing; in fact he seems almost like a child molester. The settings are stark and cold, with plenty of snow and dull colours, but the story is warm. This gives the story a certain amount of realism to play against the fantasy that surely must follow in a story like this. And the bleakness serves as a reminder that for many, this can be a depressing time of year. There are some surprises along the way, and we're not sure how we're going to get there, but since it is a Christmas story there must be a happy ending. A very warm and gentle movie about finding the true meaning of Christmas -- family and friends. Well worth watching (as I do every year). And as at least one other reviewer noted, parents with young children should talk about the scenes with the little girl and Gedion when they're alone. If you have children, I am certain you don't want them talking to strangers alone at night on an empty street.

Summary: A HEAT-WARMING, LOW KEY CHRISTMAS MOVIE
Review: Kind of a departure from some of the more recent loud, big budget Christmas movies, One Magic Christmas is rather low key. Mary Steenburgen plays a mom whose family is down on thier luck. Her husband loses his job and they are having serious money problems. She has no Christmas spirit at all. With help from Her Daughter and a guardian angel played by Harry Dean Stanton, her character, Ginny, soon comes around and all is well. It's a bit depressing at times as Ginny is very cynical and wants nothing to do with Christmas. But the movie has a nice payoff at the end. A shame this doesn't seem to be shown more often at Christmastime.
