“A beautiful single mom gets the Christmas present of a lifetime in this lovely Hallmark movie, A Bramble House Christmas. Autumn Reeser stars as a caretaker whose recent patient left her $100,000 and a paid two-week Christmas vacation in his will. Itu0026#39;s a dream come true for many reasons, but to his son, David Haydn-Jones, it appears to be a swindle. David travels to the bed and breakfast where Autumn and her son Liam Hughes are staying intent on contesting the will and finding out how she conned his father out of so much; however, as he gets to know her, his feelings soften.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne of the things I really love about this Hallmark is the lack of corniness. Sure, there are a few overly sweet moments, but overall, itu0026#39;s pretty nice drama. The characters take their time getting to know each other, rather than a love-at-first-sight or a bicker-till-we-fall-in-love romance. Autumnu0026#39;s character is a really nice, compassionate person, and sheu0026#39;s also a good mother! Itu0026#39;s very refreshing to see a romance like this one, where you can actually understand why the people fall for each other and think theyu0026#39;ll work out past the closing credits.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s really only one flaw in the entire movie, which, given the plot holes in other Hallmark movies that everyone overlooks in the spirit of the season, speaks pretty highly of it. Julia Bensonu0026#39;s character as the disapproving sister doesnu0026#39;t start out as disapproving. In the beginning of the movie, she actually defends Autumn and tells her brother to drop his negative feelings. Without any explanation, she switches sides. Besides that, this is a really fantastic Hallmark. Check it out!”
