“By far , one of the best heartfelt story for Christmas or anyone who somehow lost a love one and the saddest moment is to spend Christmas without that person… oh my .. it is hard for me to type this as it is… u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMystery started when the father hit his car on the road and met a backpack guy (Mathew) who helped him carry the Christmas tree … and requested the guy to spend the night and to pretend that he knew his lost son john who joined the gulf war and died…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow , when Mathew met the mother and the daughter , he pointed things out about john which surprises the father how come he knew things about his son… u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDonu0026#39;t miss the last part.. i know i was definitely surprised …. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI just love TV-Movies .. they concentrate on the story line and the characters.. its as if you can feel the intense emotions from the actors… i just wonder …if i were William Devan ( the father) i would have been so emotional i mean , i like his blank look but i was hoping some suppressed tearful acts will definitely moved the audience as he is the veteran star in this movie … u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut all the same , i loved this movie to death .. i kept a copy in my heart… i had to repeat the last part to hear what they say to each others…”
