David Naughton as the Dad was pitch perfect for this movie. I love his subtly sweet romance with the male lead's mother. His unconditional love sets the undercurrent for everything else. He has an irrepressible soul even if I have to look hard to see his once beautifully boyish face. I found BJ Britt quite convincing in the male lead whose tough know-it-all-comfortable-in-my-own-skin exterior hides an open wound of self-blame concerning the former family Christmas business. Jessica Lowndes is a force of nature as per usual and her relationship with Sister Sara is nice and non-intrusive. The comic interludes with Emily and grand dame Jessica Walter are wonderful and fitting. The solution to the Boston Department Store Christmas window was very clever.
It was a terrific feel-good movie I'm glad I chose to usher in the New Year.
