A Christmas Wish (2011)
A Christmas Wish should be added to Christmas Wish list!
A Christmas Wish is a great Hallmark presentation. It is about a young mother and her two little daughters and step-son, who are deserted by his dad just before Christmas. The mother, Martha Evans, played by Kristy Swanson, decides to get into her old car and take the children to a new location. She doesn't know where, as she begins this new life, and she has very little money.
The struggling family end up in a small western town, where she begs for a restaurant job and gets it! The rest of the story shows how the townspeople help her in different ways, and how she develops a special friendship with a caring policeman, Joe Hopkins, played by K.C. Clyde.
Martha's stepson, Miles, played by Kevin Herring,III, has the toughest time adjusting because he misses his unfit dad. Little Miles is beaten by mean boys, because he stutters, and he is shy and wears eyeglasses.
The story is, also, about Christmas and what this special season is really about...Jesus! The older girl, Mel, about 9, is very sweet, as she tells her little sister, Lilee, played by Lilee Clyde, and Miles the story of the first Christmas.
Mel, played by Kirstin Dorn, is really an encourager to her mother and she tells her mom to pray to God for help.
As the family gets acquainted with others, Miles is befriended by a big man, Les McCallum, played by the late Ed Herrmann. The character, Les, pretends to be a tough old man, but he really softens towards Miles and Martha.
Les teaches Miles on how to get rid of the school bullies!
Craig Clyde. the movie director, earned recognition and awards for this wonderful Christmas movie.
I am, thankful, also, for the writers for making this a moral, uplifting, non-rated film for all ages! I thank everyone, who helped make this movie, and I hope more decent films will be made like this one. I just want to add this note to them: Please don't be afraid to make stronger witnessing movies, that help others come to Christ and to receive Him as Lord and Savior! Jesus is truly the reason to celebrate, not just at Christmas, but all year-round! God Bless You!
