Holiday Triple Feature: Christmas Shoes/Christmas Blessing/Christmas Hope

Excellent Christmas Entertainment
Each of these three films is excellent on its own, but the three together at a great price is over the top. The Christmas Shoes is a classic that tugs at the heart strings and I love to watch it every year. I showed it to my young grandchildren this year and they love it. The Christmas Blessing is the sequel to The Christmas Shoes and is also an excellent film. I believe that this deserves to be call a classic as well. The Christmas Hope is also an excellent film and will bring a tear to the eye of the toughest person. I enjoy watching all three of these every year and am pleased to be able to add them to my collection. I would give all three films five stars on their own, but as a collection, I'm sorry that I can't give an even higher rating. If you love Christmas/Feel Good movies as much as I do, then these are a musst-have for your collection.

Insperational Movies...
Very inspiring movies for everyone. They make you appreciate what you have, all the blessings of health and Love. Everyone needs a good cry now and then and these are those type movies. Helps you remember what Christmas is all about, the Little Baby Jesus and not what you are gonna get...or give.

That is NOT the case with the second movie in the set...The Christmas Blessing. This was a horrible and totally unnecessary re-write of a wonderful book. What were the producers/writers thinking? and why didn't the author object?? I actually read the book shortly AFTER I saw the movie, and was appalled at the changes made in the movie. The book was a moving, wonderfully told and uplifting story. The lead characters in the...
