Wonderful Movie :-) I love Christmas and when I seen this movie on TV I loved it. The following year I was so excited that it was on again, cause I could record it on the VCR we got the previous Christmas. Wow !! We bought the DVD and watch it during the year if down in the dumps...Watch it, Henry will give you a new outlook on life & people around you,,,,,,,
