I loved this one. Some of the channels who are fighting for Christmas cred have been getting really stale in their storylines and were churning out the same old rehashed story. It was nice to have a new, refreshing story that wasn't centered around romance or a couple who didn't like each other at first and decided they were in love by the end of the movie. This one felt more real. I love the extended family theme. As a mom who always wants to make the holidays perfect and special, I related to the main character while also relating to the brother, who wanted to simplify things. I also love the imperfection of the relationships. It's real. It's hard. I love the religious aspects as well. I understand that's not for everyone, but there are literally 100+ other channels for Christmas movies that don't have that if you don't want it. I personally find it so rewarding and enriching. It's hard for me to comprehend someone not having a rich, spiritual life. Loved this one, and I hope to see more like it on GAC in the future.
