Comment: I loved the movie. I had watched it a long time ago and it's refreshing to watch a movie like that with my family. Thank you! The movie was very expensive but I am still happy with my purchase. Thanks.

Summary: Holiday Treasure
Comment: I watched this Thanksgiving themed movie in the 1970s with my then elementary aged daughter and we loved it! I looked for it for many years before finding it on Amazon. Although we have to be satisfied with a VHS version, we were both thrilled to sit together and watch it again after all of these years. It a charming, timeless story with a wonderful message of kindness and generosity. The "Holiday Treasure" should be a must see movie for all families. Thanks to Amazon, we were able to enjoy it again!

Summary: Have the tape - want the DVD ... please!
Comment: FINALLY... The House Without A Christmas Tree is available on DVD. I'm very happy to have one on order. I might order a few more to show to my little grandsons someday. My all-time favorite though is "A Thanksgiving/Holiday Treasure". I searched for YEARS under "The Thanksgiving Treasure" and SOMEHOW found the title had changed. I questioned my memory but was relieved to read that the title had been changed. Don't do this to our aging minds! This Thanksgiving movie is something that should be shown on TV EVERY YEAR to sensitize the younger generation to the elderly. We need a lot more of these movies on the kids' channels - a LOT more. My girls enjoyed these types of movies in the 70's and now that they are becoming mothers, are reminicsing about them. These two movies are (as one reviewer described) a window into the past. I feel as though I am in my grandmother's house everytime I watch them!

Summary: Atmospheric Period Piece About the Real Meaning of Thanksgiving
Comment: In this sequel to THE HOUSE WITHOUT A CHRISTMAS TREE, it is 1947 and heroine Addie Mills, who is being raised by her widower father and his mother, befriends a horse while she is out collecting items for an autumn bouquet for her teacher. Unfortunately, the horse belongs to a crusty old codger named Walter Rhenquist, who hates Addie's dad because a pond James Mills dug for him leaked (James had warned him it was a bad place to put a pond, but he wouldn't listen). When Addie's teacher tells the class a story about the Pilgrims befriending the Indians, she decides to befriend her dad's enemy by bringing him Thanksgiving dinner. A new friendship is the surprising result.
This is a slow-moving but wonderfully nostalgic story that looks so authentic you would swear you were peeking into a window at 1947. The children's radio play is so true to the period! The cinematography is also wonderful and Arthur Rubenstein's score complements the action perfectly. Lisa Lucas, Jason Robards, Mildred Natwick and Barnard Hughes as Rhenquist are all splendid.
Note: On television this story was called THE THANKSGIVING TREASURE. CBS changed the title so they could sell it with the Christmas videos.

Summary: Lovely Nostalgic Piece
Comment: I adore the Addie Mills specials and wish they would be shown on television again after all these years. These wholesome programs stand the test of time and are so warm, poignant, and worthwhile. The Holiday Treasure is one of the best Thanksgiving specials I've ever seen and am pleased to now own a copy, along with the other two Addie Mills television programs. The ensemble is phenomenal and the storyline very touching. It just doesn't get much better than this. Television programmers, are you reading this???
