I have this story on video and was delighted to see it on DVD. In the two part title story, Timmy and Lassie befriend an elderly toy mender who agrees to help with a toys-for-sick-children project at the local hospital. Together the three of them decide to feed hungry forest animals during the holiday season--until wolves lured into the area by easy game start attacking farm animals. Great classic LASSIE story. A second story is included, "The Greatest Gift," which features forest ranger Corey Stuart. A young boy, troubled by his father being reported missing in action in Vietnam, is devastated to discover that the big spruce tree he and his dad used as "a meeting tree" on fishing expeditions is to be cut down for the National Christmas tree. These episodes have been restored and are also uncut for the first time in years. Well worth it if you have small children or are a LASSIE fan.

Lassie's Gift of Love is, as its name said, a gift for all us. It contains two different Christmas Stories. In the first one -presented in two parts- Timmy and Lassie met a kindly old man, Mr. Nicholson, who helps Timmy to fee the wild animals during the hard winter. In the other, Lassie is with the Forest Ranger Corey Stuart choosing the National Christmas Tree. But this beautiful tree is the symbol of the meeting between the father -a Navy Pilot just reported as missing in action- and a young boy. The boy is very unhappy because he thinks that without the tree he will lose his father too.

Just as expected, copies of the old shows and suitable for the whole family to watch. This was bought for an 8 year old boy who loves the Lassie stories.

This was a gift for my eight year old grand daughter. She loved Lassie and a classic was introduced to a new generation.
