I read that they were showing this movie in the movie theater on the Titanic when it hit the iceberg!

[@stephenbottomore8876]

Correct. The Captain was actually watching it too. As a result he wasn’t at the wheel and could not steer away from the iceberg. This movie has a lot to answer for.

[@AverageJoe87]

Didn't the Titanic sink in April of 1912? Why play a Christmas movie in April?

[@user-cm6lg5eo9x]

The Titanic sunk in April! Why would they show a Christmas movie during April?! Also, do you think that hundreds of innocent people (including infants, children, and, animals) dying of hypothermia is FUNNY?!

[@user-cm6lg5eo9x]

@@stephenbottomore8876 Hundreds of people DIED of HYPOTHERMIA on that tragic day! INFANTS DIED! CHILDREN DIED! ANIMALS DIED! AND YOU MOCK THEIR DEATH?! Survivors reported that the water was so COLD that it felt like KNIVES! The victims of the sinking of the RMS Titanic have living relatives! Anyone who makes such a TASTELESS joke about something so HORRIBLE should be ASHAMED of themselves!

He was right. The family _was_ better off without him. He leaves, they win the hereditary lottery. =)

Dad was glad he kept up the payments on his family's life insurance policies.

[@kaydee4296]

Wow. Redemption & forgiveness. What a concept!

[@russellcrea9701]

Does anyone know who did the soundtrack, or what it's called or where to find it?

[@loge10]

The composer is Al Kryszak. This film is part of a DVD called A Christmas Past, where he composed all the music. The score is kind of controversial as many people seemed to want more festive light holiday stuff. Personally I love the music and feel it fits perfectly in the haunting view of the images of Christmas from the distant past. It's a great- if sometimes strange-DVD.

[@uslines]

Yeah right the g,old old days

[@OdeeOz]

I love these oldies. Far better times back then, despite the few ignorant fools who thought they were better than others.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

"Far better times back then" Hardly.

[@OdeeOz]

We knew the difference from Right and Wrong, then. Unlike your today @@KZbinallowedmynametobestolen. Discounting the Democrat Racism, yeah they were far batter times. People had less unproductive idle time on their hands. There was always something to do around the house, with the kids, helping friends, and such. Families were a real family of Mom, Dad and the kids. Neighbors helped one another, as did the Church. Neighbors looked out for their neighborhood, and when bad stuff happened, they put a stop to it then and there. I could go on, but you already tuned out in your blissful ignorance.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

@@OdeeOz What a load of B.S. "We knew the difference from Right and Wrong, then. Unlike your today" People still know the difference, and in many ways more so than before. In "the good old days" it was fine to make jokes demeaning women, blacks, and many other minorities. And not just jokes. People got lynched. Women got raped. All kinds of horrific shit went on with people just saying, "Well, that's the way it is." "People had less unproductive idle time on their hands." "Families were a real family of Mom, Dad and the kids." Sure. With domestic abuse, just like today. Except then people didn't think much about it because it wasn't considered as aberrant as we thing of it today. THINGS. ARE. BETTER. NOW.

[@OdeeOz]

@@KZbinallowedmynametobestolen How sad your fantasy world mus be. But you're entitled to the Facts. Just not your version of them. :D

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

@@OdeeOz Exactly my thoughts on you, Odee Dillon. (Except I would have put a "t" at the end of the sixth word.) I do wonder how you interpret "Society is better now than it used to be" as sad. It seems to me that just the opposite is true: thinking things are worse is sad. And my facts are just fine, thank you. I see the good and the bad of both the past and the present. And I take it ALL into consideration in my evaluation. So are your facts just fine, by the way. The problem is that you are cherry picking. You only see the bits of the past that look good to you, and you are either ignorant of or choose to ignore the bad parts. And you only see the bad of the present, choosing to ignore the good. THAT is a sad fantasy. A dark, diseased fantasy.

[@andromeda1903]

she's real stupid for taking back the deadbeat husband who left her in poverty! other than that, pretty neat film! i love the kids´ acting! esp when they roll right out of bed in their excitement to see Santa.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

"the deadbeat husband"??? The guy couldn't find a job because of economic hard times. Not his fault. He left his family only because he figured they would be better off without him. (One less mouth to feed.) Imagine the sacrifice of leaving your beloved wife and children to go out into the hard, cruel world without a pot to piss in or a bed to sleep in, and try to survive day by day all on your own.

[@andromeda1903]

@@KZbinallowedmynametobestolen he abandoned his family.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

@@andromeda1903 That is a narrow-sighted view. It's one of those things you can say and people will condemn it without even stopping to think about why he did it, or what the real ramifications might be. People like to reduce things to simply absolutes. "A is bad. B is good." Life and reality are rarely simple.
