Christmas Movie Review: ****^The Christmas Shoes (2002)

This is one of the better made for TV Christmas movies.  This movie was made to follow the story of a popular Christmas song by the same name.  http://mmboebillywardle.blogspot.com/2014/01/newsong-christmas-shoes.html
It tells the story of two families and their friends and relatives.  Their stories are intermingled, with some aware of the connection, and others not.  However it is about events that change your life, and give a new perspective on what is truly important.  In life it is so difficult to achieve balance, but sometimes we get our priorities mixed up.  This movie is about fixing those priorities, and focusing on what is really important.

As per a plot, it is very tender.  It presents a mother, who is dying from heart disease, and another family with a father who is mostly away, and fallen away from his family, because he is focused on making money so as to buy a big house.  But in the end, what really matters?  I highly recommend this movie.  Rob Lowe stars as the father who needs a miracle.  Kimberly Williams as the mother who is dying.
