Great Christmas Story

This was a CBS Special. It is a wonderful story for Christmas. An elderly, bitter father looks back to a Christmas from his youth, and remembers that family, love, sharing, and kindness are the essentials for a full and happy life. Somewhere, in growing up, he had forgotten these truths. Gordoon Pinsent, I believe wrote the story and also starred.
