Rating: - A Christmas Without Snow
I have read a lot of the reviews here and I wonder if they watched the same movie I just did. Granted it was made in 1980. The picture quality is not as good as new ones made today. This movie is packed with a lot of very good actors. John Houseman is wonderful in this. This movie covers a lot of every day trials that average people go through. A Black boy is wrongly accused of vandelism. The preachers son is the guilty party. A Mother leaves her home after a divorce to go to another city ... Read More
Rating: - Corny,dated, but says interesting things about motivation
I still think that this is one of the schmaltziest pieces of television film ever made, but it simply wouldn't be Christmas if I didn't suffer through the bad acting and corny,trite story every year!

Rating:  - LET'S BUILD A PIPE ORGAN FOR CHRISTMAS
Really, folks, some of you have become quite jaded. I admit the DVD transfer is terrible - buy the tape, you all know what to do. As a minister's daughter I related to this movie. If it can go wrong it will at Christmas. The organ always has a problem, so does the piano, the choir gets sick, the minister would like to get sick, the minister's family is saying "Christmas - is this a holy holiday?" Now, in Christmas without Snow the producers did an excellent job of showing how a congregation - all ... Read More
Rating:  - depressing movie
I got the impression that someone who hates Christmas wrote this movie. It has none of the qualities that make a good Christmas movie. love, 'feel-good'emotion, snow, a loveable character, and so on. Rude church choir director kicking people out how sing less than perfect, unsucessful mom who cant support her son, drug using pastor son no happy ending, and hot weather!
The stars did a good job for the script they had to work with, and the music, (The Messiah) was nice at the end.
