Trivia
The plot is similar to the Sesame Street Christmas movie, Elmo Saves Christmas, which came out on video that same year.

Goofs
Sunrise on December 25 in Virginia is not until around 7:23 AM, so at 7:00 AM the sun would not be shining into Billy's room like it does in the movie when he wakes up on Christmas morning.

25 Christmas Movies in 25 Days

Trying to get in the spirit of the holidays and I start with a remake of Groundhog Day. It's not Bill Murray, but it was a sweet Christmas story about how a 13 year old (Erik von Detten) finds the true meaning of Christmas.

Director Larry Peerce (Goodbye, Columbus) kept things moving smoothly and didn't get bogged down in what could have been a boring repetition.

"Starman" Robert Hays and Bess Armstrong ("My So-Called Life") were great as 1950s-type parents. Even George Allen made an appearance in his actual role as the Governor.

Great movie to kick off my Christmas adventure.
