I came across the movie by chance and it quickly became, not only one of my favorite Christmas movies, but one of my favorites in general.
It is a drama-filled story almost throughout its entirety, with the "Don't Give Up" message always being conveyed.
The setting in the small town of Fall City, Washington makes it all the better. It gives this movie that small town feeling that makes it so nice to watch. Having lived in Washington State for a few years made it all the more special, although I have never been to Fall City specifically. Nonetheless, the small town setting where everyone knows mostly everyone else, really shines through.
