Review of The Christmas Tree

I did record it in 1996 when it aired, and watched it with my husband faithfully every year. We both looked forward to watching it with great anticipation. I lent it out to a number of friends, and now I can't find my copy. It is one of the best Christmas movies ever made. I would love to see it aired or better yet available on DVD. I'd buy it in a minute! Andrew McCarthy does an excellent job in the part and I agree that Julie Harris is superb. I loved the friendship between the young man and the middle aged nun. Her expectations and his surrender to her wishes was spellbinding. I used to think the name of the movie was "Tree", it made such a strong impression.
