Better than most people think

The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This film is a fantasy of sorts. A little girl who lost her parents is now living with her uncle. Her Uncle is a very nice and kind man who works at the post office. Unknown to everyone is there is a woman who just arrived at the post office who is answering letters to Santa. She stumbles across one letter about a girl who is asking Santa to find her uncle a wife. Now this film is not the greatest but it works. Its not everyone. You have to love romance. The cast does a good job and the film works. This is a family safe film that I hope more people will discover!

Matt (AJ Buckley) is a postman and takes care of his niece. He has a demanding route for his postal deliveries but things brighten up when he meets bubbly Kristi (Ashley Scott) sent on a special assignment as a 'Santa Writer' whose job is to respond to letters addressed to the North Pole.Kristi is a natural replying to the letters but the local post office boss is far from happy about Kristi and thinks Kristi has been sent by corporate headquarters to spy on him. He forces Matt to spy on her.This is an amiable film, rather light on plot and the acting is a bit hammy. The leads are likable enough and it is hinted that Kristi might be Santa's daughter and really is from the North Pole. The climax is rather flat though but it makes for pleasant undemanding viewing.

Matt (A.J. Buckley) is a postal carrier for a small city and single father to his niece, Emily. In addition, this man has two other troubles. One, he lost his fiancée, she passed away, and two, he has a very demanding, irrational boss (Locklyn Munro). Thank Goodness a co-worker (Yolonda Harris) is a nice pal. Yet, the big honcho suddenly pulls Matt from his route and asks him to spy on a new employee. That would be lovely Christi North (Ashley Scott), who has been sent from a bigger supervisor to answer letters to Santa, written by the children of the town. Surely, she has other purposes, big boss thinks! So, Matt does as asked. However, he soon finds himself liking Christi very much. But, she does indeed have secrets, like she lives at the North Pole and is Santa's daughter! Will there be any chance for a romance or will Matt get his heart broken again? This is a pleasant film that starts off well. The actors are likable, the sets most attractive and the story fun. However, it loses a bit of oomph as it unfolds, mostly because there is no big, splashy ending. If you like romance and want a holiday film to put you in the mood, then order this film through the mail or investigate other options.

Contrary to one reviewer, I did watch this film, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.It was lovely, pleasant, romantic, fun, with a happy ending.Also I used to work for the post office, so I could identify somewhat with the male lead.I have watched a lot of Christmas films on DVD over Christmas eve and Christmas day.Most begin with a light hearted Christmas song, or tune, and then they continue light heartedly, and as the stories pick up, they get a we bit more serious, and ultimately at the end there is a lesson learned, all tied up in a lovely story wrapped up in a nice Christmas happy ending.What more could you want at Christmas.
