Cody arrives in Nevada City & he goes directly to the Green Mountain Diner where he orders a meal (chicken salad sandwich, extra crispy curly fries and hot chocolate with marshmallows) Coincidentally, it’s the exact same meal that another customer, Faith Spelman (the woman who sent the card), has ordered to go.

    A woman sends a Christmas card to a soldier. He goes to visit her to let her know how much it meant to him and falls in love with her. Nice premise but the movie was a little too saccharine for my liking.

    Predictable but watchable Christmas film.

    This is one of my favorite Christmas movies to date.

    A small town sent personalized Christmas cards to the troops overseas. A man received one of the cards and kept it close to his heart the whole time he was over there fighting. When a bunch of his buddies are killed in the l...( read more)ine of duty, he is sent home. His sole purpose: Find the family who sent him the card that got him through the tough days. Who does he find? A hard working family, some of whom are vets. And who sent him the card? A girl with a guy of her own - a wine seller who does quite a bit of biz with France. Who do you think the family likes? But the more important question - In the end, who does the girl like?

    A fun family treat with a slightly serious side. (However, it's nothing like Fallen Angel.) Go see this one! I think you'll like it!

    Nauseous American Xmas film. Storyline weak but allows film to be watchable if not sickly predictable.

    This was another milled Christmas-time movie. I have to admit, I liked watching Ed Asner being drunk and trying to deliver his lines. Actors should be sober if they are going to make a Christmas movie! That's about all I have to say about that.

    Take care all,
    William
    Zzzzzzooooooommmmmmmm!

    P.S. Anyone that reads this, send a card of letter to a soldier, they really do appreciate it!
    I have several members, of my family, in the service and they all tell me that the best time, of the day, is when they receive a letter. Please, take time to send our men and women a note, card or letter; they do appreciate it.

    Take care all.
