An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving | FULL MOVIE | 2008 | Holiday, Drama 

Thanks for the nice words, Elizabeth. So glad you liked it.

@@ChickenSoupForTheSoulTV You're welcome.

Why kidnapped by the Gypsies ? First of all it’s Roma and second that line is really harsh and untrue also has no place in this movie or anywhere else wish there’s a way to change this and other slanderous beliefs about Roma

@@lionn8172 you may have noticed that this was not set in 2022.. therefore the ideas of children or even adults are not going to be in line with the way the world sees things now. This is a lovely story and if the only thing you gleamed from a heart warming tale is a child’s idea that gypsies are kidnappers that’s a shame.

Well said & I agree 💯 it’s so difficult to find anything to watch that does not rely on shock value to replace a plot. This is a lovely story about a widow with heart & the reunion with a mother very different from herself. Thanks for sharing. I needed something gentle to watch today. Happy Thanksgiving 2022

Glad so glad the some people still believe in that, bless your heart

Was thinking the same.. And googled to check.. An old fashioned Christmas is part 2..please upload it if you can.. Thank you in advance

💯 agree

@@yellowmellow7640 thank you for researching this...

Never give your kids cell phones or video games. I'm 68. Our neighborhood was loving and every woman was your mama or grandma. Small towns, road our horses to school. I am so sad my grandkids don't have that life. Chores before and after school. Church on Sundays at my grandma's home. Just safe & fun 60 yrs ago

@carolinemah9972, It was Written, Directed, Produced with Canadian Actors, and Actresses for 99% of this movie, and filmed in Canada; so Thanksgiving probably DID take place in October on the "set" !! Only it was BASED on a Louisa May Alcott Short Story, and made to RESEMBLE an American situation, most likely on the "King Estate". 🍁

Thank you for watching, Cheryl.

Thank you ! Pleasantly surprised to see a full movie on RU-vid ❤️ Thank you ! I really enjoyed it ❤️

@@Тата-й4л nbbbbbbbb7

Loved this movie 🍿 thank you for uploading this 🙏 New sub. Sending you all love ❤️ from Iceland 🇮🇸 🦋🦋🦋

Totally agree

And "Once in a while..." more often! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

@@qhop5726 agreed...more often for certain! Thank you! I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving, too!

I don’t know why the ratings for nice stories like this one & so many others people really desire to see, are found on the “Rotten Tomatoes” list!? I don’t think it’s the people watching giving these ratings, as these are wonderful stories!

Blessed Advent Journey. 🕯🕯🕯💜🌿

I'm trying to get into this movie, and early on I see 3 stocky, if not plump, children, and a mother that says they can't afford any of the TG food.... Hmmm... Carrying on..

There is a part two. It's titled An Old Fashioned Christmas.

@@finallythere100 . I loved this movie.

Thanks for the nice comments, Tonya. We're glad you enjoyed it.

Couldnt have said it better myself!

Thank you for watching, Tony. We're glad the movie warmed your heart.

So glad you enjoyed it, Bizzy Bee. Thanks for watching.

😮Wow! Going to look that up right away. Thanks.💕🙂

An old fashioned Christmas

Highly Unlikely...Movie from 2008

We're so happy you enjoyed it, Jan.

The movie as a whole was great but the idol worship and not mentioning God in the prayer was truly saddening and disappointing.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too, CDF DeSantis.

2008 seems like yesterday.

@@cocoaorange1 IDK, friend - 14 yrs. ago, I was a different person with a whole different life. I'm just thankful for my blessings right now. Thanks for your reply, & Happy Thanksgiving!

@@cdfdesantis699 it seems like yesterday and an enternity ago. I was a young mom happy in what I thought was a great relationship. I was healthy and very active, loved gardening, my garden was beautiful abounds the with flowers, my house clean and tidy . We had enough money and lots of friends and family. Now I’m ill, chronically I’ll in immense pain and totally bedridden. Before that I had my 7th miscarriage.. My house and garden a total mess ( in need of paint and some new windows and door locks. The outside needs painting and some plumbing work and my garden is totally overgrown ..) my mothers things stored in two of my bedrooms , all the way to the ceiling I’m not able to do anything. My boyfriend left me when I became ill and with him his daughter. Turned out he’d been cheating on me since we had been together for only 10 months , with both genders. In the years that have passed . I’ve had several operations, been raped and lost 11 close family members and several of my best friends. The few I had left don’t keep in touch since I’m bedridden and not able to go out or visit. I’ve tried to commit suicide, been in a pschyciatric ward for a month and in different useless therapy . I had to go disability support which has made me now to be on the breach of bankruptcy and all my money go to medication and the house. My daughter and I rarely have more than one meal a day, dinner / hot food maybe 4 times a month. My daughter has in that timeframe been sexually assaulted twice and had to go trough trials and even a stay at a juvenile center because children’s services thought she safer there before the trial since I had just been to hospital. That scarred her so badly, she was terrified all the times that seemed like an enternity, but was only 6 days . My lawyer got the whole mess cleared up after a 5 minute meeting . My mom became very ill and passed away last year, after us hardly being able to see her in the nursing home for a year because of covid . Her last 3 years my daughter had to take care of both my mom and me, so she didn’t get to graduate from Highschool .. I’ve lost my 15 year old dog and 3 precious cats. I had to stop working as a foster home for animals because I have enough to take care of the 6 cats I have here. One who’s 15 and soon has to be put down because he’s lost his sight and hearing and lost a lot of weight. I also had to pull out all of my teeth because heavy medication made them to rotten from the inside. They looked white and perfect until they fell out. I got so many painful infection that I had to pull them all. I was supposed to get new one this summer, but I’m still waiting… We have to be cold all the time now that it’s winter as we can’t afford to keep the house warm . Both my daughter and me are gluten, lactose and fructose intolerant and allergic to sea food , nuts , potatoes, rice and legumes so that we have to eat ridiculously expensive food , so we can’t afford it. This last year my daughter has lost 55lbs and I 40. So we had to buy new clothes on credit cards , which of course messed the rest of the finances. I’m scared to death of losing my house. The only place I’ve ever felt safe. I’ve moved 18 times before I built this house in 2000 when my daughter was a year old. Her dad/ my ex husband abused me and got only a 2 year sentcense for death treats and physical violence against me. My daughter is 23 and lives at home taking care of me and works as a bartender at a nice cocktail bar at night until 6 am.. I was sexually abused as a young child, raped twice after I turned 18. My brother died when I was 2 , my dad when I was 9 and all my grand parents and my great grandma from 14-16.. I was bullied at school from 1 grade until Highschool . I never got to use my university education in archeology, literature and folklore as I married at 22 with a violent Muslim man. He’s married again and have 4 young children my daughter are not allowed to see. I used to be pretty , popular, funny and could make friends with anyone. Now I don’t have a single friend. I’m alone most of the time as my daughter works nights and sleeps during the day and has to do all the household chores and go to the stores. I’m not even allowed to drive anymore because I have to wear fentanyl patches for my pain. So my life’s a mess and I have lost my looks and all confidence. I can’t go out at all , because I’m on chemo and a cold, not to talk about covid could kill me. And can hardly walk because of the pain anyway… I’ve haven’t talked to a man and has been celibate for 8 years now. I’m lonely and afraid for the day my daughter moves out. So I’ve lost so many years that 2008 seems like yesterday, but at the same time it feels like forever….

@@malina1239 Friend, life & fate often seem so cruel to those who least deserve it. I know, believe me. And there's no point in offering trite platitudes to people suffering extreme misfortune. 2 things that give me hope through all my trials are my faith, & knowing that I'm never really alone, no matter how lonely & miserable I may be. I remember the story in the Bible about the 3 children of Israel in captivity in Babylon, & how they were thrown into the fiery furnace for refusing to worship the Babylonian king. The king's guards looked into the furnace, & then exclaimed to the king, "Did we not put 3 men into the furnace? Now, they are free of their bonds, & a 4th stands with them, in appearance like into the Son of Man; & they are not burnt up!". Christ, Who was the 4th Man, could have removed the 3 from the furnace, certainly. Instead, He stood with them amidst the heat & flames, protecting them, & proving to the king & his people, & to us, that no matter how horribly bad our situation is, He's always right in the middle of it with us, & able to save us if we put our faith & trust in God. I don't know if you're a believer, but I pray you find comfort in this example from God's Word. I know you're not alone, & please know that I pray for you & millions of others like you every single day. God bless you, friend.

So happy to read your comments, G Smith. Thank you for watching.

Thank you so much!

Yes that would be great, see how well this great education was going to stand her, and if she ever got to meet her sweetheart and Marry eventually.

The sequel is titled An Old Fashioned Christmas.🎄

There's a sequel titled An Old Fashioned Christmas.🎄

@@shorty7363 Thank you. God Bless

Amen 🙏

Amen 🙏🏻

I agree with you, but with the exception of Tilly praying to a statue (idolatry).

Glad you enjoyed it

I love this movie❤

The prayer to an idol is not very surprising given that L. M. Alcott’s beliefs were heretical.

​@trejea1754 Ah man, I was so hopeful and excited at the thought of a pure movie. But a child prays to an idol? Like a Catholic Saint? Or something worse? Can't I just skip that scene? Or is it more than once? I'm just desperate for a wholesome movie.😢

Did you not see that at the end she was praying to God?

Absolutely

The sequel is titled An Old Fashioned Christmas, but this channel doesn't have the rights to it. You'll just have to search for it.

Louisa May Alcott was a prodigious writer The Challenge is for someone to produce one

There is a sequel. It's titled An Old Fashioned Christmas.🎄

Thank you for watching Maria Luisa!

I hope so too!

You're welcome, Marie! Thank you for watching.

We celebrate Thanksgiving because it is the Last Harvest. 🍁 The Native Americans that helped the "Pligrims" would always have celebrated The Last Harvest, just as the settlers would have done in England for centuries. 🍂🍁🍂 HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁

@@BlueSkyLtd. I’m not trying to speak for the native Indians but I do know my own heritage ma’am. Im talking about what the Pilgrims did after they suffered and worked in the new land. You are totally wrong about pilgrims celebrating Thanksgiving in England. The very first Thanksgiving was in the new land, in America, when the pilgrims celebrated with a feast of thanksgiving bc they thanked the Almighty God for helping them through all their hardships.

Thanks for the nice words.

Thanks for watching Terry. Glad you enjoyed it. There was a follow-up movie, entitled 'An Old Fashioned Christmas' made several years after this one. But alas, we unfortunately don't have the rights for that one...

@@ChickenSoupForTheSoulTV oh. Ok. Thank you for letting me know.

Glad you enjoyed it, Suzanne. If you like Jacqueline Bisset, you might also want to try out one of our other movies: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hK0lkxAGpv0.html - Rosamunde Pilcher's September, from 1996, which also features her.

Thanks for the nice words, maria.

You are so welcome, Clara!

That's kind of funny considering it was written by Louisa May Alcott. It reminded me of her story Little Women.

BTW there is a sequel titled An Old Fashioned Christmas. 🎄

It was one of her "Short Stories" . Set reminds me of "Anne of Green Gables", Emily of the New Moon", "Avonlea", "Who has seen the Wind", "Jake and the kid", and "Petticoat Tales".

Thank you for the nice words. So happy you enjoyed it, veganleigh.

I read your comment just after I finished the movie. It just so happens, earlier today I read in news the author of Little Women’s, (and apparently this movies) birthday is today

@@Thejxns Now I wish I had watched this two days ago.

We're glad too!

Thank you for watching, Sarah. If you like Jacqueline Bisset, you might also enjoy watching her in Rosamunde Pilcher's 'September' - another movie we have here on our channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hK0lkxAGpv0.html

Great references, krystalTiger. Thanks for watching.

Especially Little Women, both were written by Louisa May Alcott. There is a sequel titled An Old Fashioned Christmas.🎄

We agree! Thanks for watching.

Sadly Brenda she is not, ask all the orphans or beaten children!!

@@jacquibradley1598 orphans have lost a mother or father but once adopted, the new mother takes the place of a mother. Everyone needs a mother in their lives and she does not have to biological. My statement meant that even when we have differences with our mothers...there is always a time we realise not circumstance is worth her absence or demise. 😁

@@shorty7363 Thank you so very much!!

@@MsIseeyoutoo2 You're welcome.💜

A warm comforter and some hot chocolate and a movie is what we'd call 'Chicken Soup for the Soul & RU-vid & chill". Glad you enjoyed it, Mrs. G.

My kind of thing to do too , is to drink hot chocolate or hot tea and be wrapped in a blanket watching a good family movie.

There was a sequel, Donna, made three years after this one called 'An Old-Fashioned Christmas'. Alas, we don't have the rights for that one, but it's out there...

Glad you've liked this one Victoria. And yes, I hope people can find the sequel out there...unfortunately, we don't have access to it ourselves for this RU-vid channel.

Thank you for the nice comments Patricia - and for watching.
