Rating:  - One for everyone's Christmas collection
Heartwarming story of a brief childhood friendship that resurfaces each year through an angel doll, the most valued of all the Christmas decorations in the narrator's household.
The narrator grows up to become a renown writer, but what ever happened to Whitey? Whitey was the less fortunate of the two. His homelife was unstable and he lost his beloved sister to polio.

Rating: - Heartwarming family movie Classic
I bought this movie and watched it with my family and it was most heart tugging movie, some might think its corny but, i thought it wasn't. Its a great family movie with a great storyline and plot.

I have watched this movie at LEAST 3 times! The young boy who plays WHITEY is EXCELLENT! The rest of the cast are fantastic.

That a boy should love his sister so much that he spends his salary to buy her a special doll, is so heartwarming. It also shows how special friendships can be.
If you have not seen ... Read More
Rating:  - not quite
This appeared to be the kind of movie I like: a heart-warming family/Christmas movie. Yet, the movie was disappointing. The actors were likeable enough (luckily) and did a good job. So, what was it?
This is a nostalgia movie, not a Christmas movie, and the Doll comes in only at the end. Okay, nothing wrong with that. But like so many such movies, this one tried to mute every possible effect. First of all, use of a narrator put the audience at one remove from the story. On top of that, ... Read More
