    A long forgotten childhood memory. The railroad ran alongside our farm in rural Florida. Mama fed the hoboes. At nearly 84 one can forget unless reminded. LOL

    Awesome movie! It showed the importance of love, families and friends. We don't always take the right path but we can always apologize and try to d9 what's right. We all need love families and friends. I wish they still made movies like this.

    Nice Christmas movie- I’m glad that guy returned to his son and grandchildren after 25 years riding the rails-0 it shows the importance of family and doing away with old grievances and restoring relationships,- I hope he made up for running away from his responsibilities! This is something all people should see and enjoy!❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

    I watch this every year. Itcwas beautifully cast and brilliantly produced. It's what Christmas is all about; family getting together.
    My favorite moment is the very end when Charlie tells his dad he loves him. It brings a tear to my eye every time.
    Families need to realize hiw much they need TO DEPEND on each other to play their role in unity.

      Same here. I've watched it every year for a long time. I lost my dad in 1994. He was a minister and we were never estranged; but this movie still hits home for some who are less fortunate than me. God Bless.

    Nice Family Movie!
    Respect to all grandparents who in their era - did their best to sustain family, as our generation has the option some didn't.
    Pride is a good thing, but at times one needs to humble themselves and see the bigger picture and find self.
    Merry Christmas 🌍🙏
