A dog named christmas. "This is no place for a dog. They are just a distraction." George McCray and it so often his friends were amazed to learn that a start had been "invited" to spend the holidays with george, his wife mary Ann and their son Todd on their kansas farm. When todd, a developmentally-challenged twenty 20 year old with an affinity for animals hears the animal shelter is looking for families to foster a dog for the holidays, he's eager to to sign up. But george says "no adoptions" -even temporary ones claiming he wants to protect Todd from disappointment. Mary Ann knows better. Something else is troubling her husband - something he doesn't want to face. With Mary Ann's support, Todd's persistence pays off. He chooses a friendly yellow lab from the shelter and names him "christmas." Bringing christmas home is a revelation for george. The dog seems to know immediately that this is where he belongs. Watching Todd and christmas together, george sees his son in a new light. And it soon becomes obvious that Christmas has actually "adopted" george, creating a bond that is stronger than past disappointments. A dog named christmas is a joyful movie that is destined to become s holiday tradition. The making of "a dog named christmas" author greg Kincaid will be the first to admit that when he wrote this little christmas story for his children, he never could have imagined the series of events that would follow. See how the hallmark hall of fame created a snowy kansas farm from a thriving summer landscape in Saskatchewan. I want to tell the amazon.com customers I'm not forcing them to buy anything it's their preference. They can buy whatever they need and want. About the story from my perspective point of view is that about The film Bruce greenwood told the boy no you can't adopt a dog or have a dog because the boy had a health problem in the story. He was forgetting things. The boy had a disorder he was autistic but a very smart young man. He always obeyed his father and he got what he wanted. At the beginning of the story the dog named christmas journeyed west and almost got runner over by a semi truck. The father and the son painted together and they got on the same band wagon together. But the boy liked taking care of many different animals. He was a painter they called the boy Todd. His father didn't even want him to get on the ladder.the father told the boy you can't have a dog unless you clean up your room. He has to do his chores or no dog. His room is messy so he has to behave and clean his room nice clean which is thourghly clean. He has so many animals that if he wants another animal he has to do what his father tells him. His mother even gets on the boy case but it was sad. He had to let Jake the parrot go because he fixes wounded animals then he let's them go. On the radio he heard about a contest about raising all kind of dogs so he went to pick them out. The mother was less lenient but Tha father was very strict with his son but the mother was not to hard on him. The father had his own dog when he was in the service. My favorite part of the film of the story is that christmas the dog liked to play with a ball a lot. He rolled it to the father and son.

It's cheesy at times but it's sweet. It is family friendly.

This is an outstanding movie for kids and adults alike. I highly recommend this as it promotes good old-fashioned family values. Great plot and happy ending. Wish I had found this movie a long time ago...

What a great story! One of my all-time favorite Christmas movies. And this year my five-year old granddaughter watched it and she loved it too.

Came quickly love the movie

If you love animals, you will love this movie!!

What a delightful movie in a day where much of what is offered needs to be selected for the appropriate audience depending on age and taste.Not so with this one! Young and old alike will no doubt enjoy this well-made work.This movie has elements which will touch the hearts of those dealing with difficulties in life relating to reliving memories long since past, dealing with ever-present physical and mental trauma; caring for those with special needs and disabilities; enduring relationships and the sacrifice, compromise, and reward that go along with them; and also the joy and ache of families growing up and away from each other. This movie also focuses on something that is not very prevalent in today's modern, instant gratification society. Namely, that of persisting and working hard now and not seeing the reward until much later - perhaps even years later.But the main point of the movie is driven home with the love a boy has for his dog - and the affection returned in the faithfulness of a dog for his boy. This truth is found not only in the son - the hard-working young man who is eager to please at every turn, but also in the work & battle-hardened, soft-spoken father who is reliving long-forgotten emotions brought to the surface by the introduction of this faithful dog to the family.We first watched this movie with my kids when they were younger, and again Christmas 2013 when they came home from college for the holidays. They absolutely loved it then and still do now, and I must admit that it still brought a tear to mine and my wife's eyes again as we watched.Get this move and feel free watching it with a wide audience during your holiday gatherings as it conveys its message of love, sacrifice, hope, healing, and joy - along with the delight found as a boy discovers the love he has for his dog!

So sweet & heartwarming! Great movie to put in the Christmas spirit! My daughter & I love this movie!

This is a really good movie. I watched it with my children of 3, 8 and 9 year old.It is all about a special needs boy of 20 years old, who loves animals. He wanted to adopt a dog for Christmas.His mother find it a good idea, but his dad doesn't. He has had some good memories of his dogs, but he had bad memories about loosing the dog. That is the reason that none of his children have had a dog. Through the whole movie are coming parts about the father's past. The parts about the war are not suitable for small children, even for myself it was scary.But still I love the movie and everyone have to watch him this Christmas!I also loved that the dog is a real dog who barks and not a talking real dog like in some other movies.

This film absolutely made my Christmas for me.After watching Marley and Me last Chrismas Eve,and sobbing for hours after the film had finished I was rather wary of another golden labrador!The tears I cried for Christmas and his family,however,were tears of happiness and joy.From the very start of the film,you knew how it was going to end and it pulled on every heartstring through the 90 minutes of the film before reaching its finale.A wonderful family film reflecting the true meaning of Christmas: love and giving.I would recommend this film very highly for all the family.

I love this movie it's based around a boy who has learning difficultys but there's also another underlying story for the farther to. Sad in places but it helps people to understand just because the boy is different he can do anything he wants to if you put your mind to it

I liked this film. A lot of Christmas films are very sweet almost too sweet but this film had a very well written plot which made it interesting enough to be able to watch it more than once. Very good story.

I bought this film expecting it to be the usual Christmas mix of sentimental slush, but was pleasantly surprised. I think I identified with the family as we have a son with special needs, but the whole thing, whilst it has its moments of sentimentality, doesn't overdo it and it's all handled well. The flashbacks which indicate that the father's resistance to having a dog is somewhere in his past are well done, and I thought the actor portraying the son with learning difficulties was very good. All in all, a great family film. I even got the book out of the library to read it afterwards!
