I'm a total sucker for the entire season of Hallmark Christmas movies and have seen some a number of times.

Living all the way in Central America, I get to see some scenes of home as most movies are filmed in Western Canada and I'm always left with a feeling of nostalgia and a hope for closer relationships and a large kitchen to make everyone Christmas dinner.

Anyway, I liked the diverse group of ppl this film brought together and found the Dr to be very sexy. However I agree with other reviewers in that the hold up at gun point was unnecessary. I'd also be really concerned to keep a dog in my house with my kids who leads them into dangerous situations, starts a building on fire, and sits and waits in traffic for someone to save it. Yikes! What a Bad Dog.

A perfectly delightful spin on the holidays. A divorced mother of two attempts to create a magical old-fashioned Christmas, but of course, the kiddos like most kids of this x generation want the latest gadgets and are angry because their oft absentee father is once again MIA. Through a series of parallel events, a recently laid off mall worker leaves a lost dog on the woman's doorstep. From there, mayhem and fun ensue as the said man slips on the ice and breaks his arm and the woman and her children drive him to the ER. From there and onward, many other individuals emerge on the scene and connect... well because of one extremely mischievous puppy. Each of them discovering that unexpected chaos can lead to some awesome memories and lasting bonds. Wonderful because it emphasizes families extend far beyond bloodlines. Well worth watching James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 12/20/2020
