I need help remembering and identifying a Christmas TV movie It was made in the mid to late 1980s and was about a cowboy who died and became an angel to a little girl. Her family is struggling financially. While her father is in the spirit, her mother just tolerates the holiday. Later, her father is killed during a robbery. (Now the rest is sketchy to me). The angel take the mother to see Santa Claus, who show her a letter she wrote to him to restore her faith. When they return, the father is alive. Any help would be appreciated.
One Magic Christmas, I think. With Sarah Polley, Mary Steenburgen, and Harry Dean Stanton.
Yes, that’s it. Thank you very much. :)
