Swftymcnugget-194-620928 So, I asked my girlfriend to find something "Christmas-y" while I was in the other room. I heard her giggle as she flipped it to Lifetime or Hallmark or whatever channel this glorious piece of work was on. Good one, baby. That's what I get for making her change investigate discovery. My gut instinct was to call the station or production company and let them know they had a sick camera guy, was this being filmed like a mockumentary? You get used to it, eventually the shake-zoom, repeat, shuffle becomes one with you.Soon, we meet the people and plot! The character Crystal, inspired by Glenn Close in Fatal Attractions. She has no qualms about talking smack, doing things like getting her car towed to blow this schmucks night driving her around; or taking advantage of his forgetful daughter who is just as conniving. Forgetful in the fact that he has a girlfriend, already. Derek, who is conflicted. Should I propose or let a chick stay the night because "she's having fun" kinda snow plow driving through Manhatten kind of guy. Let's mention the most important character; Pete the soup chef, the pink Toque and jacket (because gay) and saying things like "girlfriend" to end cap or start sentences that only dispense plot necessary devices. Pete's clothing escalates through the movie, eventually he becomes an ornament they have to place in the tree, because he's too beautiful for the mortal world. He's in on the plan to insert the new regime, as well. Why? He's known this weirdo one day. She loves scarves that's quirky! I guess they all get what they deserve in the end. Jillian the girlfriend who got Derek through his mourning is free of these twisted weirdos. When Derek has another girl over who is just "having fun" and Olivia, Soup Chef Pete and Crystal plot to off him for his plow and soup kitchen by having schizophrenic Frank strangle him with a scarf, it will be expected.... It's fate.

frankieyeahbaby-846-400286 I recommended this movie to about a dozen people, and every single one of them loved it and watched it at least a second time. Most movies that I watched that were billed to be a Christmas movie either had a plot that had too little mention of Christmas or showed very sporadic scenery that just didn't remind you that you were actually watching a Christmas movie. Not Dear Santa, it was sprinkled throughout the movie perfectly. It is exactly what it was meant to be. A beautiful love story centered around Christmastime with great character acting and a wonderful, quick moving storyline. Romantic, cute, funny, sad, happy, covers all the emotional bases and even has a beautiful song in it, too. And don't be surprised if your eyes well up once or twice .....

Angela Funk Serigny My husband and I watched this movie this morning and really loved it. I strongly recommend this movie for all age groups, great movie to enjoy with the family or all by yourself. Love the storyline and just another way of showing what's meant to be will always find a way. The actors do a wonderful job of making you believe in this story. I love the way the story is written and I firmly believe in destiny and fate. The storyline of this movie starts with the lead female character played by Amy Amacker, Crystal Carruthers, who can't seem to figure out anything that she wants to do with her life but shop and take things for granted but when she meets the lead character played by David Haydn-Jones, Derek Gowen, she gets a whole new outlook on life and what she wants. Crystal is shopping one day and finds a letter that has been blown into her path by the wind. The letter is addressed to Santa and is written by Derek's daughter Olivia played by Emma Duke. After reading the letter Crystal decides to find out more about the little girl that wrote the letter and her father because she believes in fate and destiny. This movie is written by Barbara Kymlicka and directed by Jason Priestly, awesome movie, it's definitely a must see.

DaysofOdumba Formulaic, cheesy, cliché'd and wonderful. Maybe it is all of the afore mentioned, but it is Christmas! Surprisingly well cast with Amy Acker stealing your heart as the rich girl gone good, and a nice turn by Haydn-Jones as the love interest. Gina Holden is excellent in the evil queen personage and Olivia Gowan is not allowed by director Jason Priestly to over act (which is sometimes the problem with made for TV productions) and she does wonderfully. Appreciative nods also must be given to Peter Creery in the role of matchmaker...A sweet movie not to be taken seriously, and something you can watch with your child or your girlfriend.
