An incredible breath of fresh air around the holidays or for Christmas in July. A story of a phoenix rising with hope from the ashes of ruin. A family going from outward wealth and a haughty heart to the humbling reality of despair and everyday challenges of basic needs till one day crossing paths with an unsuspecting stranger at the least likely of times whom shows them that there is more to life than just the outward wants and opportunities the world offers. A stranger who embodies the true spirit of giving, not just around the holidays but for all seasons. Usually most holiday movies are of romance and achievements of outward pursuits, but this is a must movie for true spirit of heart seekers of what sharing and caring blindly are at its very core. Terry Kaiser's plays an open minded kind hearted tree hatchery farmer whos sad but hidden life altering consequence shows us the true meaning of abasing and blind love. Kevin Sizemore plays an ambitious naive father whom is oblivious to his families true needs until a life humbling reality hits him and affects his home yet remaining penitent of what lies ahead. Siomha Kenny plays Sizemore's youngest daughter in this epic Christmas drama where the biggest of all pure heart's of true faith and humility really do come in the smallest of packages. Claudia Esposito play's aside Kevin Sizemore as his faithful and persevering wife whom looks past the despair and keeps the family humble and honest enduring trying times. These strangers unexpectedly meet up via the faith of a little girl coincidentally, but not on a Sunday as you might otherwise think. As the two entities befriend one another they manage to work things out in spite of differences as well as come to terms with whom they are for the greater good. There is every type of virtue and value to be had, as well as good wholesome innocent viewing for the entire family. Would recommend this with my eyes closed. This is a winner of the heart and one Christmas movie for the ages. 10 stars + 2.
