Popcultured 25 Days of Christmas: The House Without a Christmas Tree
Back in the 1970’s, CBS aired a Christmas special every year—on a Saturday afternoon, none the less. It was a special called “The House Without a Christmas Tree” and it starred Jason Robards and Lisa Lucas. “The House Without a Christmas Tree” was based on the book of the same name by Gail Rock.
It’s the story of Addie Mills (Lucas), a young girl whose father won’t ever let her have a Christmas tree. The reasons why he is so against it unfold during the show, but Addie is determined to have a tree so she finds a way to get one! But it stirs up a lot of emotion.
I always loved this Christmas special as a child and was thrilled when it was released on DVD last year. I haven’t seen “The House Without a Christmas Tree” on TV in years, so this a great DVD to pick up over this holiday season.
