Christmas movie?!
Question: I saw a made-for-tv movie back in the early 90s but I don't know the title and haven't seen it since.
It took place in the 1800s. A couple and their baby were celebrating Christmas, when Indians came, burned their house down, and kidnapped the baby.
The couple went to the tribe to retrieve the baby. The chief asked them about the decorations in their house before it was burned. The couple proceeded to tell them about the first Christmas. They had to change some expressions to help the Indians understand, such as when they mentioned "angel" the Indians were confused. So, they explained that an angel was a winged messenger. The Indians were still confused. So, they called it an eagle, and the story continued.
If anyone knows the movie please respond.
