This movie is a gorgeous family movie. The music is lovely and the story line goes along several issues which spoke to each of our family in a different way. You will need to have a tissue because it is very much a 'tear jerker'.

This movie was better than I expected it to be. The performances were solid and characters were portrayed very believably. But...be warned....you will cry! (Between you and me - I even noticed my husband wiping a few tears. Sure hope he doesn't read this). Definitely worth watching.

This movie was heart rending. If there were more children in the world like the son in this movie, it would be a great place to be! The story is believable and the acting is good.

A tear jerker for sure. Family entertainment that makes you think about how special each member is & all that goes on when a family is under stress. I don't think there was a single bad word (which is rare even in G movies).

Great DVD for the whole family. It does have a sad ending, but good movie. I believe there was one bad word in it. My whole family enjoyed the story!

Good movie, it does make you cry when the little boys mom dies, but all in all it is a great movie and the sequels Christmas Blessing and Christmas Hope are Wonderful.
They are a "Must See!"

Oh my goodness, you better have a full box of tissues when you see this. It shows you just how important love of family is, and how short life is also. I absolutely loved it, I love movies that teach you the value of life and family, very touching Christmas movie. Really teaches you that money and prestige is nothing compared to the ones you love, I watch it over and over, it just draws you right in to every scene. It teaches how short life can really be. A must see movie.

I put off buying this for ages because of a couple of other people's review but it was a lovely movie - tear jerker but would have no worries with Grandkids watching it.
