    • Goofs
      When Carol chastises her contractors at 3:30 for what she implies is their excessively-long lunch break, the foreman--the fellow with the chopsticks--has a near-full plate of food, belying the fact that this would have been a long lunch break and he should have eaten that much of his food.

    Wow A Great Christmas Movie on Lifetime THUMBS UP

    BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.

    A small-time con man ordered by his parole officer to take a job as a department store Santa promises to reunite a young boy's estranged parents.

    What is nice about this film is that it is full of tiny surprises. All of them are nice surprises. Its a film that (mostly) avoids the trappings of Christmas Theme Movies.

    The greatest thing about this film is the fact it shows that everyone has "Value". This film may not be 100% original however its 100% enjoyable and worth watching.

    So far this year this is my top pick.
