mclendenen-88503 I don't know if I am the only one who caught this but in the scene where Finn is talking to his sister outside shortly after meeting Willa, and leaving the shop where they had hot chocolate, a woman comes walking down the street and she has a pair of shorts on and a sleeveless top and it is in the winter time in Oregon. It only shows for a second but I have watched this movie so many times and I catch it every time. Would be curious if anybody else catches it.

huggibear This is based upon a book titled the same, which I haven't read yet but might do so next Christmas. They say that books are always better, so perhaps I need to check it out and put it on my list of goals since reading is one of my new year's goals and it would be perfect to read it before we watch it again next year. We all know that Hallmark repeats their previous year's movies unless it is Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening (premiere time) when they play their new movies (during the holiday season). But about the movie, it's worth a viewing and I might watch again next year as well.

Amy Adler Willa (Autumn Reeser) has had a truly awful last two years. First, she split from her husband, leaving her a single parent. Then, her darling son Scout (Liam Hughes), around 8 years old, suffered a serious illness which went on and on. Now, Scout is better but there are huge medical bills. Not quite finished with a nursing degree, Willa works the lesser paying home care positions. Lo and behold, her last patient, a gentleman estranged from his family long ago, leaves Willa $100,000 AND a vacation in Oregon's lovely Bramble House B & B. Thankful beyond words, Willa and Scout start their journey from Minnesota. Meanwhile, Finn (David Haydn-Jones), the true son of Willa's last patient, gets word of his father's will. Aghast that his parent "cheated" his family in life and death, Finn goes to Oregon, also, to see if he can judge if Willa took deep advantage of his dad's last days. Yet, once there, Finn finds lovely Willa a beautiful human being, inside and out, from the first moment. Scout is likewise a darling. With his sister breathing over his neck about the injunction they are about to file over the will, can Finn really be hateful to Willa? Not when she steals his heart away piece by piece! This beautiful movie, a new one in the long, long, long list of Hallmark romance films, is sweet and meaningful. Its basic theme is forgiveness with a dash of courage. Reeser and Haydn-Jones are perfect and Hughes is a doll. In addition, the Oregon setting, complete with a handsome house and a darling village, is most welcoming. What can one say but add this to your list of gotta-watch-this-season flicks.

Christmas-Reviewer While settling his father's estate, Finn Conrad becomes suspicious as to why the man left a nurse $1000,000. Just before Christmas, Finn wants what to reclaim what he considers his family's money, going undercover to investigate the nurse who is know vacationing at a bed and breakfast which happened to be paid for by his dad. I have become a huge David Haydn-Jones fan. I have seen him in a few Christmas movies now and he is one of the best.What was nice about this story is "Nobody" in this film comes across as a villain but in reality there is one. My problem with this film is that the deceased father abandoned his children and never saw them again.
