    TV-movie queen Ann Jillian stars with Robert Hays in this gentle but predictable yuletide romance about a local hospital's need for a replacement doctor. As luck would have it the perfect candidate (Hays) — a local boy made good — is on his way home for Christmas. Cue a romance with the mayor (Jillian), who just happens to be his former high-school sweetheart and has a vested interest in keeping him around. A crisis threatens to tear them apart, but, given the holiday season, you know that it's all going to turn out happily. Settle back and enjoy.

  • Sentimental family comedy that runs along totally predictable lines; it is as bland as supermarket turkey.

    Great Fun

    The story of a son away at university who uses any reason not to return for christmas as he does not want to see his stepmother. When his girlfriend refuses to to go away with him, he decides to go home with her in a bid to win her over but for various reasons does not make the meeting time with her. What happens next is very amusing. More teen movie stuff!!

    Perfect and moral pictures....

    Hi everyone,

    This film is simple as well as it looks like. However, when watching it, you may think about the spirit of Christmas. Hey, just watch it and hope you feel happy.

    Merry Christmas to you...
