A Vintage Christmas

Here we have another "big city developer comes to the small down to knock something down to build something new" trope ... which happens in far too many of these Christmas movies.

This time, it's an old-fashioned post office building which is FAR too large for that town, and hasn't been used in decades. But the woman who runs the town's historical society wants to keep it, especially since her father was the Postmaster there for most of his career.

Christopher Russell and Merritt Petterson do a nice job with the antithetical romance, but that element gets dropped too soon, which is often the case in these cable movies ... this one happens to be GAF, not Hallmark.

The writers put them together over a batch of "found" Christmas letters to Santa, and the leads come together over making some of those childhood fantasies come true. However, the movie doesn't really make enough of that plot element, and develops no real angst at the end. Writers aren't even trying hard these days.
