Here we are, seven years later, Christmas in July, and the movie retains it's same perfect appeal. It's a typical Hallmark Christmas movie, follows the Christmas formula, and does it with two survivors of tragically lost spouses, and a lost dog to pull it all together. Hallmark Christmas movies aren't supposed to make significant social statements, they're supposed to make the viewer feel good. They do this very well. I enjoy them with hot chocolate laced with peppermint schnapps. I miss the Christmas tree, though.
