The Kid Who Loved Christmas 34 years old

A sweet, poignant story about young Reggie (Trent Cameron), an orphan who is just about to be adopted by a jazz musician (Michael Warren) and his wife (Vanessa Williams). Tragically, right as the adoption is almost done, Williams dies in a car accident and a social worker (Esther Rolle) doesn’t approve of the adoption.
