Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage

Barely out of school and still searching for his voice as an artist, twenty-year-old Thom looks forward to another idyllic holiday in his hometown of Placerville, CA, a rustic hamlet nestled in the Sierra foothills. But this Christmas, Placerville is struggling: the town's tourist industry is failing, Thom's ailing, once-brilliant mentor, Glen, has lost his ability to paint, and Thom's spirited mother, Mary Anne, reveals that she's losing their family home to foreclosure. Faced with so much uncertainty, Thom comes to realize that salvation may lie in the community of friends and loved ones he left behind. With Glen's help, he not only discovers himself as an artist, but helps the entire town of Placerville rediscover the true spirit of the holidays.
