About this movie

Moved by an anonymous Christmas card sent to the front lines of Afghanistan, lonely career militarist Cody Cullen travels to the small California town of Nevada City to meet the card’s sender, Faith Spelman. Once there he finds himself welcomed into Faith’s family and falling in love with her—despite the fact that she has a boyfriend and that Cody has yet to reveal the fateful set of circumstances that brought him there.

An excellent Christmas movie, about a veteran coming home, and finding true love. Being a motorcyclist, I think it was a little weird that he was riding a motorcycle in the winter time. Not a safe thing to do, but I rate this movie up with Miracle at 34th Street, and It's a Wonderful Life, and I'm going to make it my third Christmas movie that I must watch on Christmas Day.

This movie is a favorite of mine for so many reasons. The first being I come from a family of Vets, the second I have always loved me some Ed Asner! Especially as he got older, he was like great wine that just got better with time! I was so sad to hear of his passing only a little shy of 4 months today. To his family I give my deepest condolences! Ed was the perfect grandpa, he made me smile and cry! Happy Holidays to everyone who had a hand in this movie!
