A Mom for Christmas - George Miller - (1990) DVD

Jessie is a young girl who's mother died when she was just three. When she wins a free wish in a department store she wishes for a mom to be with and to shop with over the holidays. Her wish brings Amy, a mannequin, to life and into her life as her Mom for Christmas.

I am a huge fan of Olivia Newton-John, so I might be Just a little prejudiced. But this sweet, wonderful story about a lonely little girl's Christmas wish is classic holiday fare on par with It's a Wonderful Life! Jessica Slocum is an eleven year old girl who lost her mom when she was three. For the last couple of years she would go to this department store to watch the other little girls shop with their moms, and wish that that could be her. Well, through the help of some good ol' "magic" Jess get's her wish, and we get the best made for television holiday movie ever.

For fans of Olivia this movie is a must! It features two John Farrar songs sung by Olivia that are not available on CD or vinyl - "What If" and "Sea Of Pain" both are excellent. The lyrics of What If are guaranteed to fill you with optimism.

This Xmas gift is funny, touching and very moving!
