Ferelith Young puts a lot more substance into her acting here than what you'd expect, considering that this appears to be just one more Christmas romance movie where boy gets girl, or girl gets boy. In fact, without her, it definitely would be just another one to sit through, because that's what you do at this time of the year. However, she makes this movie.

The story is also a bit different. A creative quilt artist meets a fireman who is more concerned with the outdated fire extinguishers in the community center where she creates. Opposites can attract.

Although low-budget, I can find no fault with the expertise of everything else. I'd probably watch this one again next year.

This isn't it. You could remove Christmas altogether, they could be selling something other than Christmas trees, and the main storyline would be the same. It could even have the same ending.

The movie is really about relationships, about human nature. It delves into the question of whether people can change their nature. Can a bad person become a good one. Can one sacrifice one's own happiness in order to insure the happiness of others.

Excellent, award-worthy acting by the main three. Excellent everything else, as well.

It's a shame that this movie has been pushed into the seasonal Christmas pile. It's so much more than that.
