Hallmark Christmas movies are always pretty close to the bullseye when it comes to plot and cast. This movie has all of the classic family, work, hopes and dreams that make traditional Christmas what it is. It stays just outside the lines of religion and politics far enough to keep from offending anyone. The storyline is simple enough for children to follow, and the adult themes are some that all of us with decades of Christmas ' past can identify with. It's a story about some of those losses and how there is Magic out there (at least this movie gives us hope that there is!) Casting the brilliant and beautiful Bridget Regan as Lindsey Monroe centered this talented cast. She's one of the hardest working actors out there and she always shows up on set ready to work. Scott, played by Victor Webster is the perfect co-worker match for Lindsey at this point in their lives. The child star, Hannah, played by Imogen Tear looks to be a can't miss future acting star. I liked this movie well enough that I rented it a couple of times, then purchased it. PS: It's a Christmas movie with a puppy named "Magic," in it, it should get 8 stars just for that!
