  1. Thanks for this great list, admittedly I haven’t heard of about half of them! Great stuff 👍
    Duma is a touching film, might have to hunt it down and re-watch it!

      1. Thanks, Penny. I want some good things to wacht when my granddaughter comes for the summer. She fell in love with Gilligan’s Island last summer. We don’t get that channel now. She might enjoy some of these movies.

      2. You’re welcome, Melinda! Yes, I think she would enjoy many of these, especially Christmas Oranges, Christmas Angel, Duma, The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry and the Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey. An older TV series our family has enjoyed is Father Murphy – very similar along the lines of Little House on the Prairie.
