Mike R Sep 19 Most Hallmark productions, especially Christmas ones, drip saccharine and artificial festive cheer and romance - this one is a welcome change. It doesn't lack 'schmaltz'. but it is well acted and the story is meaningful, rather that trite and predictable. The best thing I can say is I watch it every year - I can't say that about most Christmas pulp, in fact I purposely avoid most... once is enough - but not this one! An annual 'must-see'. :) See more 12/06/2016 Wonderfully acted by all players, heartwarming Christmas story, and rewarding to see a father holding his family together, especailly through the holidays See more 12/02/2015 As a Vietnam Veteran, I truly enjoy watching this movie each Christmas. I purchased the DVD several years ago and watch it with my wife each Christmas. The Gulf War wasn't my war. But, the story line always captures my heart and attention. Some things never change when it comes to war, sacrifice and loss. The only inaccuracy might be Johnnie's military service medals and E-6 Sergeant rank after stateside training (prior to being deployed and in combat). But, most folks wouldn't notice that, which is fine. This is a great military service Christmas movie! But, most folks wouldn't notice that, and, that's fine!. This is a great military service Christmas movie!

William Devane, Meredith Baxter, Reagan Pasternak gives outstanding performances, and it really is a very touching film, the flashbacks are a lovely added touch, giving the viewer a picture of their lives before tragedy struck.
