Beautiful Inspirational Holiday Movie - The Christmas Shoes - Newsong (Lyrics)
The movie was very similar to the song; it was sad, exhilarating and inspirational. It taught three key issues that can be useful in all aspects of life. Hard work and Perseverance- The little boy wanted to buy the shoes for his mother. Unlike the majority of children, his first thought was not to ask his dad for the money. He asked his father for a job so that he could earn the money to buy the shoes. His father did not give him one, but the kid did not let that stop him. He really wanted to buy those red ballet shoes for his mother and so he and his teacher collected used cans. The cans were only five cents each and it took them until Christmas Eve to be able to afford the shoes. He worked until he accomplished the goal he set out to accomplish; to buy his ailing mother some Christmas shoes. Selflessness- The blonde ladys husband was overly egotistical and supercilious. He made arrogant comments throughout the movie to the guy who worked on his beloved Mercedes. He also put his career before his family. Buying a new house was more important to him than his wifes happiness. When I began thinking there was not even a parcel of hope that he would change, he did. The little boy was standing in line on Christmas Eve to buy his mother those shoes and after all of that work was still five dollars short. However, after hearing this, the man paid for the shoes. Appreciation- The man obviously struggled with an internal conflict revolving around the appreciation of himself. The ailing mother was very appreciative throughout the movie. Especially at the end, she received those hideous red shoes from her son. I know that any mother has to appreciate gifts their child gives them; but she really loved the shoes. She knew her son had just been thinking about her and she appreciated that.

THE CHRISTMAS SHOES
Lyrics:
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
