Omg! This has got to be one of the sweetest Hallmark Christmas movies I have ever seen. Lucy is the head of the small town of Elmherst's Project Christmas Wish. I love the motivation behind her wanting to be behind Project Christmas Wish...someone in the town when her and her widowed mom were down on their luck at Christmas made her childhood wish come true. Lucy's dream is to do that for others.
Lucy is sweet, beautiful and selflessly helps others achieve happiness...enter a little girl who lost her mom and her wish was about having a Christmas like they used to have when her mom was alive. She reallly just wants her widowed dad to be happy.
"What you have to give is you and that is very special."-Christmas Dad Lucas
""The infamous Elmhurst Christmas horse, I mean I still don't understand it based on my logic based brain, but I understand the sentiment."-Lucas
"I was going for strong independent elf ready to get back out there."-Lucy's mom
The witty interchanges between Lucy and Lucas are what roped me in...but the humor, generosity, chemistry and love are what kept me watching. These two are both attractive in their own right and together Lucy and Lucas are magical.
I don't know if I have drunk the Christmas nog or not, but I loved this film. I laughed, I cried...I was filled with love and the Christmas spirit. I feel like whipping up a batch of egg nog and decking the halls right now.
Thanks for the warm fuzzy, Hallmark!
