    An Uplifting Christmas Movie

    If you're looking for an uplifting Christmas movie then this is the movie for you.

    The most memorable line in the movie goes something like this: What if.the world threw you a Christmas party and you were the only one not invited?

    The movie is a reminder that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ. It's not about glitz and glamor.

    Too many people get wrapped up in wishing everyone, "Happy Holidays" so as not to offend non-Christians. Well, I say, "Merry Christmas!" We have to fight for what's right and not be afraid to stand up for what's right.

    I have to admit I got a little bit choked up several times. The Perfect Gift was heartwarming and inspiring.

    I've seen several Jefferson Moore movies and I love them all. I recommend them highly.
