Not sure how this movie could get bad reviews. That is if your not into Christmas movies with a happy ending. It’s my go to movie when I need that Christmas warmth and comfort. The different characters represent real life characters and different relationships. Yes there were some cringy moments but honestly what Christmas movie doesn’t. It reminds me how fun and loving old fashioned Christmases used to be. Basically, the movie has humour, sadness, anger, regret, ups and downs, love……… reality of the real life situations many of us face. Enjoy if you do watch.
