Christmas in Maple Hills

Ok, despite what I perceived as "professional" reviews preceding this one, I was very impressed with the real life message that probably went over the heads of the other reviewers.

My wife when she was in HS was given an assignment to interview her grandparents about the WW 2 era, she chose her grandfather.

As it turned out, her grandfather had been awarded the SILVER STAR for an action vs Natzi Germany over a bridge battle. He had never talked about anything form that war with any of his kids or relations. No one knew this had happened, he wanted nothing to do with that war

Whoever scripted this movie, was completely aware of this behavior in actual warfront vets, the entire movie revolves around this theme.

I was not overly impressed with the acting, there was very little if any actual farm activity with our hard working farmers. I'd give this thing maybe a 5 or 6, except that the central theme is so powerful, and so overlooked.
