Rating: - . . . not just for Christmas
This wonderful family values oriented film really isn't a Christmas story (but yes, inbedded in the plotline is, of course, the "Christmas Box"). Without once again retelling the story (other reviewers have done that nicely), I'll just add my take . . .
This is a story about loneliness, workaholism, generosity, grief, love and family (both by birth and by association). A made for TV film, but is very, very well produced and executed. Rich sets and scripting. Great photography. Great ... Read More
Rating: - Great Christmas movie. The all time Best!
We bought this tape and wore it out in 4 years. Got the DVD now!
Rating: - Ms. O'Toole Is A Wonderful Underrated Actress!!!
This is my favourite Christmas movie because it has Ms. Annette O'Toole in it who I believe should have become a Major Star. She co stars with Richard Thomas who she worked with in Stephen King's "It" and they do have a lot of on screen chemistry. Richard is a workaholic whose marriage is suffering and it is only when he becomes friends with Maureen O'Hara (who is one classy actress) that he begins to prioritize his life. This is pefectt family Christmas fare for everybody to enjoy. Love is indeed Eternal.Gee. ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful
I'm sometimes not a fan of these kinds of movies, but this one was special. Richard Thomas(John Boy) and his co-stars do an excellent job putting the spirit of giving in context with work and family.

With so much violence and pornography on the screen these days, it's very refreshing to hear that movies like these can still have an impact and can be successful.
The first gift of Christmas was a child, and beyond that, love from God. Nice message. ... Read More
Rating: - Heart Warming Christmas Tale With Mystical Overtones
"The Christmas Box", based on the well respected book by Richard Paul Evans offers in some ways an interesting alternative to alot of the traditional viewing offered during the festive season. While the story contains a number of expected yuletide elements like learning to give rather than receive and to show love to your neighbours despite their faults, it offers an interesting spiritual element that is not applicable to any one religion. This does succeed in making you think differently about the holidays and those ... Read More
