I played Alex...

Truthfully?

I can imagine you will be buying the newly released DVD starring your childhood self. I just for the heck of it was on Youtube where I saw someone had posted "A Christmas Gift", and in the recommended list was "A Smoky Mountain Christmas". I clicked on it to start watching it, and saw immediately it had Dolly Parton obviously, but as the movie progressed, I saw a familiar face, Gennie James. I recognized her (or, You, in this case) from The Christmas Gift and IMDB confirmed it was the same girl from The Christmas Gift! I see A Smoky Mountain Christmas was not released on DVD yet but seems to be a big fan favorite too, according to the youtube comments.

You were awesome......
Your character was great and you were great in it.

That is awesome! I live this movie and I am a huge John Denver fan. I would love to hear your memories of what it was like to work with him.

Georgetown is one of my favorite towns in CO.

It must have been a lot of fun being there

You did a good job, most kids in movies are annoying, but Alex was a pretty cool little kid.



The mirror... it's broken.
Yes, I know. I like it that way. Makes me look the way I feel.

It's funny - I generally despise semi-main character kids in films (many times because of bad dialogue, but mostly because they tend to be obnoxious). This movie, though, is a total exception. It is one of my all-time Christmas favorites! Thanks for being a part of our family tradition every year to kick off the Christmas season, even if you don't know it!
