影片根據唐娜·梵·利爾的小說改編。影片選擇在快樂的聖誕節里營造著一種悲苦壓抑的氛圍,用自始至終舒緩細膩的表現手法,旨在引導和啟迪觀眾勇敢面對生活、珍惜即便是困苦帶來的每一份溫暖和幸福。儘管影片自始至終充滿悲苦壓抑的氣氛,但回放的形式、流暢的情節和細膩的人物表演,配以孱孱如流水的輕音樂,影片絲毫沒有沉悶的感覺。主題曲
曲名:The Christmas Shoes演唱:NewSong
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
已經是快要聖誕節了,我排著隊
Tryin’to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
準備買最後一兩件的禮物,但我沒有什麼過聖誕節的情緒
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
站在我前面的是一個小男孩,他很著急的排著隊
Pacing ’round like little boys do
就像一般小男生一樣的動來動去
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
而他的手裡提著一雙鞋子
His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
他的衣服都已破舊,從頭到腳也是髒兮兮的
And when it came his time to pay
等到該他付帳時
I couldn’t believe what I heard him say
我不敢相信我聽到他這樣說道
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
先生,我想替我媽媽買這雙鞋
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
今天是聖誕夜了,而這雙鞋的尺寸剛好適合她
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there’s not much time
請你動作快點好嗎,我爸爸說她時間不多了
You see she’s been sick for quite a while
你知道嗎,她已經生病很久了
And I know these shoes would make her smile
我想這雙鞋會讓她高興的笑的
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
如果媽媽今晚會見到上帝的話,我想讓她看起來漂亮些
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
他數著一個一個的分錢,時間好像過了許久似的
Then the cashier said, Son, there’s not enough here
收銀員說:“孩子啊,你的錢不夠啊”
He searched his pockets frantically
他又著急驚慌的找翻了他的口袋
Then he turned and he looked at me
然後他轉身過來看著我
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
他說:“媽媽總是讓家裡的聖誕節過的很棒
Though most years she just did without
但這些年她都沒過了
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do?
先生,請你告訴我 ,我該怎么辦 ?”
Somehow I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes
我一定得想法幫她買到這雙聖誕鞋
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
我把錢放在櫃檯上,我一定要幫他
I’ll never forget the look on his face when he said
我永遠不會忘記在當時他臉上的表情
Mama’s gonna look so great
他說媽媽一定會看起來很漂亮的
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
先生,我想替我媽媽買這雙鞋
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
今天是聖誕夜了,而這雙鞋的尺寸剛好適合她
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there’s not much time

You see she’s been sick for quite a while
你知道嗎,她已經生病很久了
And I know these shoes would make her smile
我想這雙鞋會讓她高興的笑的
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
如果媽媽今晚會見到上帝的話,我想讓她看起來漂亮些
I knew I’d caught a glimpse of heaven’s love
我知道那天當他向我道謝後跑出去時
As he thanked me and ran out
我看到了一線天堂之愛
I knew that God had sent that little boy
我知道是上帝把這個小男孩送到我面前來
To remind me just what Christmas is all about
它是要提醒我:聖誕節的意義是什麼
