I always love a good Christmas movie and this year’s movie, The Christmas Dress is a sweet short film (only 27 mins) that is heartwarming and perfect to watch with your family before Christmas. This season we have focused a lot of the importance of giving and serving others so The Christmas Dress was a great movie to watch as a family!
We bought this movie at Seagull Book for under $10 and watched it last week. The kids and I loved the sweet story of the Jeppson family and their struggle to get by. Leland wants to give them a special Christmas but their packages haven’t arrived and the blizzard is blowing in and the train is no where with their presents. This story is about two people who go beyond them selves to bless the lives of others!
Description:
It’s Christmas Eve, and Leland Jeppson’s hope is gone. Struggling to get by in their rustic homestead, he had at least wanted to give his family a special Christmas. But with a blizzard blowing in and the train bearing their gifts nowhere in sight, it seems Christmas is just one more thing they’ll have to do without. But as dusk falls, the Jeppsons’ packages unexpectedly arrive at the post office in the not-so-nearby town. Half-blind Postman George Schow is hesitant to brave the storm, but his son, Sidney, will stop at nothing to bring Christmas to the Jeppsons—and ask their daughter, Ellen, to the New Year’s Eve dance. Now it’s up to father and son to battle fierce elements in an attempt to deliver a Christmas miracle. Don’t miss this heartwarming reminder that while God helps those who help themselves, sometimes He does so through others.
