I saw this show in 1969 as a wide eyed little girl anxiously awaiting Christmas. I loved it then and never forgot it as I grew up. Last year I discovered it was available and spared no time or expense in ordering it. What a disappointment! It was painful to watch how cheesy it really is and how little money Hallmark spent on the production. I guess at the age of 8 you are watching through a different set of eyes. I am so sad. I wish I had never ordered it so that my memories of it would still be fond ones. Please, if you enjoyed this show as a child do not watch it now as a grown up. I guess it's true - you can't go back.
