1 star BARELY ANY CHRISTMAS the christmas bread looked AWFUL also grape vines take three years to grow plotline and ending were UNREALISTIC

Incredible Christmas movie. There was so much Christmas jam packed into every moment. A breath of fresh Christmas Pine air. It meets most of the criteria - a confused hero who is returning home, Christmas decorations, an old man who may be Santa, and the rare but incredible custom Christmas song. There were not one but multiple custom Christmas songs with choreography which adds to the authentic Christmas Cheer. Ben Over was a great nice-guy who was too patient which teaches us about Christmas Forgiveness. I think that the flashbacks were a great parallel to the Ghost of Christmas Past from A Christmas Carole. One star subtracted because there was no Christmas baking and I did not see any Christmas cookie decorating, but otherwise it was a solid Christmas movie.

Ten stars if I could - what a cinematic masterpiece. I'm left overwhelmed by the first seven minutes due to the artistic vision relayed by director of photography, Dick Bush.

Wow. Christmas Movie Score - 1 out of 10. Barely any Christmas. There was some decor that resembled Christmas decor, but there was not even any Christmas baking. I could have been watching an Easter movie in a cold climate. Disappointing.
