THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE CHRISTMAS BOX (1995)

 

Richard Evans (Richard Thomas) a struggling ski-shop owner reluctantly moves himself, his wife Keri (Annette O'Toole) and his daughter Jenna (Kelsey Mulrooney) in to an old estate as live-in help for an elderly widow, Mary Parkin (Maureen O'Hara).

While he struggles to balance his career and family life, he has recurring dreams about an angel.

The relationship between Keri, Jenna and Mrs Parkin is very revealing and the moment of the tree decorating is particularly heart-warming but it’s her interactions with Richard that exposes the secrets and sadness of her past.

This is a great holiday film with a classy performance from Maureen O'Hara and Richard Thomas puts in a gem of a performance.
