On a cold winter morning Tav wakes his son Samuel at 4 A.M. to help with chores on the family farm. He sternly comments on Sam's work, such as napping while milking, or spilling a little milk, causing Sam to tell his mother how hard it is to please his father. She explains that Tav is just teaching him traits he will need as a man, and although his father loves him very much he finds it hard to express this in words. Sam admits to having the same problem. She says that there are unspoken ways to communicate love, and Sam volunteers, "Like Christmas presents ?" She agrees, but will not tell him how to select a special gift for his father. On Christmas morning Sam goes out to the barn alone (except for the cows, pigs, and chickens) to deliver his special gift in a setting very similar to where the very first Christmas gifts were bestowed.

If you watch movie watch it with looking for the real meaning of what it is trying to tell you .. in life it is always so easy to condemn rather than praise Remember praise is a good thing I really enjoyed the movie because the actors seemed more real to me than some other actors Praise is a good thing the movie is trying to get a certain message learn from it I for one enjoyed Just finished watching completely WoW what an inspirational Movie Just finish movie if you aren't moved by it then something in missing in your life

I think doing a film about a homeless family was a great idea. How this family becomes homeless is just not very believable. In this film an advertising man "becomes a fall guy" at at work. He is lied too when they promise that after things cool down he will get his job back. Well he doesn't and he loses everything. Now that does sound promising but the film doesn't work. Everyone comes across as a stereo type. The writing isn't strong enough for you to root for any of the people. The "Happy Ending" of course is telegraphed long before it happens. If the person who wrote this writes anything else I hope they think more about story structure. I loved the general idea if this film I just hated the poorly done execution. Novel Attempt.

There is many FAKE REVIEWS for this film. They have only rated this one film. That tells me they have something to do with this film because they gave it a rave review. Trust me this is the worse film I saw all year. When I saw "Christmas Grace" and that was terrible. This week I saw "Homeless For the Holidays" and it was the stupidest film I ever watched from start to finish!I love Christmas films but I hate terrible movies. I don't mind a film with a message but I hate being bored at this film did bore me because it did everything wrong. I will make a coaster out of the DVD of this!

My husband and I had planned on going to "the movies" (a different movie), but at the last minute we decided to see Homeless for the Holidays. We were not disappointed. This movie hit close to home and brought tears to our eyes. What a wonderful, heartwarming view on these hard economic times. It's so nice to see a movie with Christian views and real to life situations. Not a padded "fairy tale ending". Destined to be a classic, this movie reminds us how we should live our lives. When one door is closed, another will always open. We just need to open our eyes and hearts. A great, must see, family oriented movie for everyone, young and old.
