I admit this was the first Hallmark Christmas movie I have ever watched. I'm amazed at how many of them there . I like time travel stories so that is why I decided to DVR it and give it a try. I figured it if was boring or blah I would turn it off, but that never ended up happening. The storyline was good, kept me guessing as what was to come next and wasn't too schmaltzy or sappy. Good acting by all though I think the actress playing the mansion tour guide was the best one in the film. It is a good Christmas movie and one I'll be watching each holiday season in the future.
