One Magic Christmas | Year: 1985 Classification: Christmas Directed: - Phillip Borsos This movie will help you realize the true meaning of x-mas.. Mary Steenburgen plays the part of the bitter and frustrated wife Ginny to perfection. I have never seen her play a role this before, it just truly shows what a great and versatile actress she is. The story is about a woman named Ginny who even when everyone else at Christmas seems bright and full of joy, she cannot even bring herself to say Merry Christmas. With money tight Ginny doesn't see why there is any need to be merry. She is the type of person who doesn't seem to appreciate anything she has especially her loving husband, and bright and imaginative kids. It isn't until one christmas when Ginny's daughter decides to do something about her mother to get her back into the christmas spirit and that's when she meets the kindhearted and wise angel Gideon played by Harry Dean Stanton. With the help of Gideon, and Santa Claus she is able to help her mom realize that she shouldn't take for granted everything she has and helps her realize the joy and magic of christmas that she knew when she was just a little girl. This is a beautiful movie and very well acted and with a very good message. Although there are some scenes which are too intense for younger kids like when Ginny's husband get's shot or her kids drown in the lake, but other than that this movie is something for young and old. It will help you realize the true meaning of christmas: family and just how special they are. One Magic Christmas truly is magical! A HEAT-WARMING, LOW KEY CHRISTMAS MOVIE Kind of a departure from some of the more recent loud, big budget Christmas movies, One Magic Christmas is rather low key. Mary Steenburgen plays a mom whose family is down on thier luck. Her husband loses his job and they are having serious money problems. She has no Christmas spirit at all. With help from Her Daughter and a guardian angel played by Harry Dean Stanton, her character, Ginny, soon comes around and all is well. It's a bit depressing at times as Ginny is very cynical and wants nothing to do with Christmas. But the movie has a nice payoff at the end. A shame this doesn't seem to be shown more often at Christmastime. #Wonderful I have loved this movie for at least 10 yrs. What a wonderful story of coming to realize what things are important in life.
