A Heartwarming Tale Of Hope and Miracles!
23 December 2013
David George (Kevin Sizemore) is a land developer with a successful career, a beautiful family, and could have everything material anyone could every wish for. This holiday season the George family can't wait for all the holiday surprises coming to them except the one they did not expect. The family is used to comfort and modern conveniences but that all changes in the blink of an eye when David loses his job. The family doesn't seem to take the situation seriously and continues to live the extravagant lifestyle they are used to.

This catches up to them and the family is forced to leave that lifestyle behind. With no where to go, the family is taken in by a local Christmas tree farmer who offers the family a fresh start and a new outlook on life.

The movie is heartwarming and the story is written very well. This is a movie that can be played throughout the year because of its heartwarming tale of family and hope. The lessons it teaches are not preachy but words of wisdom that we all can reflect on year round.

Kevin Sizemore was well cast as the lead in this family feature, playing the breadwinner of the George family. He plays the hard-working successful character as well as the hardened hero who learns a thing or two and rises from the ashes. The chemistry between Sizemore and Esposito as the husband and wife unit keeping their family together during the good and bad times was amazing and with the dialog can evoke an emotional response from the most hardened of hearts. The cinematography was done quite well capturing the vision of the writer. Each of the scenes depicted the success of the family, the fall from grace, the vastness of the family trying to find themselves in uncharted territory and the rise back from the ashes. This is a wonderfully shot independent piece.
