I wanted to but couldn't!

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A doctor in the city is about to become head of trauma. When she returns to her small town she rekindles a romance with her childhood sweetheart. Her father is about to retire from his small town practice. The cast is likeable enough. It's nostalgic to see Patrick Duffy as the father all grey haired. He is still a welcome presence on screen. Note to Hallmark: a little tired of giving up a great career and life in the big city for the charms of the small town. Everything she has worked and achieved don't count for anything? Why can't the small town person ever move to the city. Few are good enough to make it.Not a must watch.

The only bad thing with this movie is that unlike all other Hallmark Christmas movies where you can figure out the ending after 15 minutes, this movie you can figure out the ending by reading the "info" section on the DVR, or by watching 2 minutes of the movie. So, that kinda really ruins it as it seems like all the actors are pretending throughout the the movie that the true correct ending that you quickly predicted is not actually going to happen. I did like the actors in this movie, they were all very believable. Brooke Nevin is very pretty and likeable as Nessa, and she likes to wear tight fitting red dresses in nearly every scene, even if it is totally inappropriate for the occasion. The dad is super likeable as well and plays well as Dad figure, much better than most Hallmark Christmas movies. I also liked the addition of the younger brother, who by merely existing, added value to this movie. Usually that character does not exist and is instead replaced by the evil fiance or current boyfriend. Refreshing to have a change here. The town is non-descript and boring, as are all the other characters, including the Mom. But, all in all, worth watching once.

If you are looking for a Christmas movie with a heart to enjoy - this is it! A real joy. A warm and kind sort of a film, would be complemented by a cup of coco under the duvet. Brooke Nevin is gorgeous and a flawless actress, who is a joy to watch. Plenty of snow, holly, goodwill, Christmas trees and a few miracles.

Vanessa is a big city trauma doctor up for promotion. She returns home for a short Christmas holiday, where her father is a small town doctor. Most of the rest of her story is about being shown that even small town doctors save the world in their own way.The romance is with Mitch, her long-past boyfriend who she's know most of her life. There isn't much romancing, relatively speaking. The connection is obvious and goes back to childhood, but Vanessa isn't really letting it get romantic.The things that convince her are more incremental than sudden, so there are no huge surprises. But this is where the heart-warming part of the story lies. In the end, it is the small town practice that hooks her, but big Hallmark surprise, she ends up with Mitch too.Brooke Nevin appears to be a rising star in the Hallmark movie world. She is charming and beautiful and does this kind of story well.
