Every few years Hallmark decides to produce a script which retells "A Chrismas Carol" in a modern setting, and we've typically enjoyed each of them.

THis one may be the best of those. Not only did we appreciater the details of their retelling, but I found many chuckles throughout the course of the film. I'm sure this is one we'll keep in mind for repeat viewings.

The title, a quote from the movie, was well written and memorable. In a conversation between two angels, it struck me as well thought.

We last watched this movie in 2022 and 2020, and we probably saw it the year it debuted. We liked it enough that we put it on the list we keep of movies worth repeated viewings.

Eric and Kristen make a great lead couple, even if the plot leaves some doubt if they can have their HEA.

SHirley McClain provides the glue that holds the "rules" of the angelic plot together.

For a time, it seems that scripts with a single parent (by tragedy) with an only child were required to call them "kiddo". That's used twice in this movie, and it irritates me. I docked one star for that and for using the most overworked word in English at least twice ... "amazing".

But other wise, this movie simply WORKS, which is why we're now watching it for at least the 4th time. My wife and I definitely recommend it if you haven't seen it before to make up your own mind.

By my count, this was Hallmark's fifth Christmas time travel movie, and was very similar to the one where the magic clock caused a businessman to leap forward in time and become a tour guide in his own home ... but a home he disappeared from decades before.

This movie followed the same storyline, and I'm not sure the ending followed its own logic, but we enjoyed it anyway. We'd certainly recommend watching it, and we'll probably watch it again.

However, similar to Candace Cameron Bure's time traveling nurse, this time a comet was the time-travel mechanism.

The lead actress played the "young Ann Margret;s character in "A Holiday Spectacular" a few years ago.
