I grew up watching this movie its very special to me I was searching and searching surprised to see it was not polling up in the classics ...but this movie truly is a classic it brings back great memories of Christmas as a child movies like this...n OK of course movies like It's a Wonderful life , Frosty the snow man , Rudolph The red nose reindeer...all very Wonderful and special movies ...One Magic Christmas taught me the lesson of being kind and helping strangers and believing in Santa and having hope as a child I really don't see how this movie doesn't have a much higher rating it's a classic and the mother in the movie is such a great and wonderful actor she really is the best
