Interesting fact. I am 79 years old and live in Atlanta. Doctors making house calls was the norm when I was a child. My Primary Care doctor just retired on 11-1-2023. This is December of 2023. Up until the day that she retired, she STILL made house calls when her patients were dying. I find this absolutely amazing. And all of her patients called her by her first name. Awesome lady.❤️

This is innocent, pure, light uplifting. Reminds me how my life was before I complicated everything.

Never heard of this movie much less seen it. So I did. Thoroughly enjoyable. Funny but the whole time I was watching it, I thought the movie was made in the 70s...around 76ish. Then I found out it was made in 1983. Go figure. Something about these old TV movies, set in New England, in the winter that are so charming.

Lee Remick--now there's an actress who deserved more good roles!

[maryowen]

There’s nothing quite like a New England Christmas story!!!❤

[alicebarton]

Angela Lansbury didn't get the credit she deserved as an actress.❤

This time watching this movie really moved me to tears when she walks back in the house and she realizes her mother is dead - that all three of them are dead. That it’s a dream. I watched it years ago when it first came out on TV and a few times here on YouTube. I was even able a few years ago to purchase a DVD that someone had made copies of. It’s a decent copy — I guess from a VHS tape. This time made me cry 😭 more than ever before.
I will be 70 my next birthday. My Mom passed away in 2012 at age 81. I was a Mama’s girl and she was my best friend too. After my Dad died in 2009 I called her every evening and sometimes we talked an hour or more. I like the music in this movie. I have never ridden in a horse drawn sleigh through the snow before. One time when we stayed in Louisville we rode one of the horse drawn carriages around town at night. I live in central Kentucky. Thank you for uploading this movie.

Angela Landsbury was born in 1925 & Lee Remick in 1935, so they were just ten years apart and playing mother & daughter. Both lovely ladies.

I remember watching this when I was in my teens with my mother and family. O how I miss my family!! How I miss the Christmases we used to have. It is awful when time takes away your family memories. I so miss my family 😢.

I love Polly Holliday as Aunt Min in this. Saw this when it was on tv in 1983. My grandmother died on Dec. 19, this movie has always had a special place in my heart.
