Christmas in July Movie #17 🎄🏖️
For my Christmas watch today I dug into the Hallmark archive for a movie I've never seen before. I can't believe I've missed this one for so many years. It's, at least I think it still is, a beloved Hallmark favorite amongst fans. I liked it because I really enjoyed Ed Asner and Lois Nettleton, and this was her last film. Both actors are staples of classic television. There's a sentimentally to this story that we don't get to see much of in todays Hallmark movies. This really does feel very old school Hallmark. I will admit that it's another movie that with a few minor script changes could become a Lifetime woman in peril film. Dude in the military gets a Christmas card and it keeps his spirits up. So when he gets out he ends up visiting the town, the church, and the letter sender. He falls in love with said letter sender and her family, but she's got a boyfriend. Oh now what's gonna happen? Come on folks you know. There's also a spiritual side to this film which is not over bearing. It's purposely sentimental as most holiday films centered on servicemen usually are, but I enjoyed it anyhow. You weren't beaten down by a message, it's just a dude who wanted to say thank you falling in love at Christmas. I liked it, I'm feeling the feels today.
My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Where to Watch: Up Faith & Family
