Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com There is so much warmth and commitment within the Kamp family that at times it feels like perhaps we find ourselves up on Walton Mountain. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 5, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A wonderful feel good movie. It brought back nostalgic feelings of appreciation for family, and what Christmas should really be all about. This movie brought happy tears, and a giggle for revenge done right. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A refreshing wholesome family Christmas movie about giving. It breaks away from the run of the mill unrequited love story, date matchmaking hallmark, or a story where some kid messes up Christmas and hero Santa Clause comes to the rescue. It show authentic giving and sharing where the children show the adult character what sacrifice and giving are about during the depression. There are a lot of layers in the individual character stories that fit into the larger motif of the film. Well worth watching if you are tired of the same 3 Christmas movie motifs so common today. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 9, 11, 13 and me loved it we have been telling our friends to watch it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Very moving family movie. Low budget film and yes some of the acting could have been better, but very moving and very good family movie, with some good life lessons and being grateful for what you have, for the younger generation to take onboard.
