Even if some of the acting is a little stilted, this movie has my heart. I believe I’ve watched it at least once each year. It’s like a well-read Christmas novella . . . you know what’s going to happen, but you don’t care. You’re invested. Crystal Carruthers (Acker) is a young woman now in […]

Christmas Movie Review: Christmas Plus One (2022)
“From the moment you were born,” a wise woman once told me, “and from the moment he was born . . . God began to move you toward each other.” Those words of wisdom came from Joan Zimmerman whose true story I told in my book Five Brides. Thus is the story also found in […]
Christmas Movie Review: Last Christmas (2019)
I saw the ad for Last Christmas several times as I opened up Netflix and, given what I saw, decided it would be my next review. I knew it wasn’t going to be a typical Hallmark-type Christmas movie, but I thought it was good to stretch a little in my holiday viewing. After all, not […]
Christmas Movie Review: A Bride for Christmas (2012)
Okay. This movie was ADORABLE. Well-acted. Well-written. Simply good. I would recommend this film over and over again.

This particular trip down the aisle is […]

EVERYTHING. . . about Christmas is in Hot Chocolate Holiday. The acting is somewhat stilted, but I couldn’t stop watching it, nonetheless. So, here’s the story: […]
Christmas Movie Review: Our Little Secret (2024)
At first glance, this doesn’t appear to be a Christmas movie (much like Die Hard), but it is. Because . . . well, it’s Christmas. And B, it’s Christmas. So, here’s the story: Logan (Ian Harding) and Avery (Lindsey Lohan) were childhood sweethearts. In fact, ten years ago, Logan proposed to Avery before she left […]
Christmas Movie Review: The Spirit of Christmas (2015)
Full confession: I love this movie. I have watched it every year since Lifetime released it. The Spirit of Christmas tells the story of a quite handsome man named Daniel (Thomas Beaudoin) who was killed a century ago. Now attorney Kate (Jen Lilley), is assigned the job of selling Daniel’s estate, which has become Hollygrove […]
