The Christmas Gift also known as The Three Gifts
Jack Green is a toymaker and is very busy as the Christmas
period approaches, but when his aunt asks him to take in 3 orphans over
Christmas he and his wife Cherie welcome them into their home. With no children
of their own they jump at the chance of having a big family Christmas, but the
3 boys aren’t the best behaved.
As they help out in the toy factory & get to know the
couple, one of them overhears a conversation about the couple planning to adopt
one of them – but which one? With the potential for one of them to become part
of a family each boy tries to impress the couple with their best behaviour –
yet trouble still seems to follow them around.
As Christmas day approaches all 3 boys begin to realise the
true meaning of Christmas as they help make toys for the orphanage and with
their stay with Jack & Cherie coming to an end, all the boys get a very
special surprise.
A warm festive film which makes you realise how important
family is during the festive season.
Our First Christmas
A TV drama about a family’s first Christmas following the
recent marriage of 2 parents.
When Tory’s mother marries Lily & Jacob’s dad they must
decide how they’re going to spend their first Christmas as a new family, but
each family has their own traditions.
Lily & Jacob always take part in the local Christmas
pageant while Tory and her mum spend the season with her grandmother, so
despite pleas from both families to get along, the parents decide the only way
to make each child happy is for the family to split up over Christmas.
All the children are happy with this idea as they can have
Christmas as normal, but as they get to know each other better they realise
that family is the true meaning of Christmas and decide to stay together and
create new Christmas traditions.
I enjoyed this movie as it centered on the family aspect of
Christmas even though it was set in Los Angeles and there was no snow!
The Santa Suit
Drake Hunter is the ruthless CEO of a big toy company who is
driven by money and as the Christmas season sets in he has no Christmas spirit.
With his employees asking for time off or a bonus, Drake is
determined not to give into the holiday season, but when his company auditions
for people to portray Santa Claus they inadvertently audition the real Santa
who after learning of Drake’s negative views of Christmas magically transforms
Drake’s appearance into Santa Claus forcing him to work as a store Santa.
As he’s not able to return home due to his appearance, Drake
stays at a homeless shelter and bonds with the social worker while he helps a
young girl whose only wish is to receive a Hunter doll and begins to appreciate
the meaning of Christmas.
I wasn’t sure whether I would enjoy this TV movie when it
started as it looked a bit boring, but as it went on I began to feel myself
feeling more in the Christmas mood and was glad I watched it.
The Wishing Tree
A Christmas tree decorated with handwritten wishes helps bring a community together along with teacher Evan and 3 of his students who are unable to go home during the Christmas season.
As they get through the season together, each of the students makes their own wish and end up building a firm friendship between them all.
This movie was good, but only worth a one off watch.
