    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies and it was devastating when you could never find it on TV. The few times that I could find it on UA-cam it was so distorted and the quality was terrible. You have done an amazing job on this. We appreciate all of your hard work on this. You’ve made a lot of us very happy.

Was devastated when they stopped showing it 😢I am elated to finally see it again after all these years. Thank you so much! ♥️♥️♥️

      dlamancha I wish I wouldn’t have thrown the vhs away and could have had someone dvr them...but wallgreens probably would not have been able to convert them to dvd for legal reasons. I can’t believe how expensive it is to do that...I got both of my graduations converted and it only cost $20...now I asked them for another copy of them and they said $60 each. It was a long time ago but you’d think the technology would be easier to access now and it would be cheaper. I thought about looking for a molly ringwald channel on here and asking around. I just lucked out and saw that movie...I saw the ad and I thought wonder if Molly Ringwald has still got it...and I liked it more than any of her other movies...I liked them too but you know what I mean...

      My favorite part in Christmas list was when when she mentioned the stigma of women over 30...now that I’m over 30 it makes me hope that some day I still might meet a great guy like David...it all happened way too fast in my opinion but that’s the only issue I have with this movie...I think they should have dated and said two months later will you marry me...but I guess sometimes things happen fast...just never happened to anyone I know...

      I was surprised to learn that Mimi was into scientology at one point in her life (she has left it now)
      and she is the one who introduced Tom Cruise to scientology.

Mimi Rogers and all the cast are wonderful - and wonderfully believable. Even Marla Maples is convincingly evil. It's pretty nearly timeless, this fine holiday movie. A seasonal gem.

    I never stopped thinking about this movie every year even though I wasn't even 100% sure it existed. Now I make my family watch it every year :) so glad you uploaded this, the only copy I thought I had is nowhere to be found and it's almost the season of watching this 1000 times

    Thanks, great remastering job. It is my first time seeing this movie and I loved this touching Christmas story. It was well written and acted. The older movies are the best. Thanks again.

    Thank you for uploading this! It used to be me and my cousins favorite as kids and I was just seeing some old messages from her saying she wished she could find it. She has passed away but this is a great way to keep the memories alive❤️

      I'm glad the movie is uploaded to UA-cam so you are able to watch it again and rekindle those memories of you and your cousin.
