A perfectly delightful spin on the holidays. A divorced mother of two attempts to create a magical old-fashioned Christmas, but of course, the kiddos like most kids of this x generation want the latest gadgets and are angry because their oft absentee father is once again MIA. Through a series of parallel events, a recently laid off mall worker leaves a lost dog on the woman's doorstep. From there, mayhem and fun ensue as the said man slips on the ice and breaks his arm and the woman and her children drive him to the ER. From there and onward, many other individuals emerge on the scene and connect... well because of one extremely mischievous puppy. Each of them discovering that unexpected chaos can lead to some awesome memories and lasting bonds.
Wonderful because it emphasizes families extend far beyond bloodlines. Well worth watching James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 12/20/2020
