"The Christmas Box" is a 1995 made for TV movie. This movie is
based on the Richard Paul Evans book of the same name. It Stars Richard
Thomas as Richard, father of a young family, Annette O' Toole as his
wife, and Maureen O'Hara as Mrs. Parkin, the widow who needs someone to
live with her in her old age. Mrs. Parkin asks Richard, "What was the
first gift of Christmas?" Much of the Movie revolves around this theme,
the first give of Christmas. There are also dreams of angels, and a
Christmas Box containing old letters. These lead to the discovery that
the widow had a daughter, who died at five years old, and angel child.
It also leads to the realization that the gift of Christmas was a baby.
The mystery seems to be overplayed, and not that much of a thing, but
the theme of putting priorities on what is important is something which
comes home to me.
