If you have Netflix or Amazon Streaming this wonderful program is available to stream NOW (As of May 2017). This film runs under an hour. Its starts off a little wobbly but it stands on its feet fast.
There is a message in this film but it doesn't hit you over the head with it.
This film takes place in the 1940's. World War II is ending and people don't know who is "Returning". Many people are shell shocked about the war. They are the smallest victims "The Children of War Veterans". There is also the grieving parents trying to figure out "What does war really solve" and how to move on, dealing with loss, and uncertainty.
Told through they eyes of a child it will warm your heart and maybe spark something in you the viewer that "There is a reason why people act out" and "Throwing the Key solves Nothing"

You could easily dismiss a film like this. It is easy to do but this film is very "family friendly" and has a sweetness to it that i found comforting.
What this is about is about love and hope. They story is Wendy Carroll (Ashley Williams) and her six-year-old daughter Grace (Kylie Price) live in a small town where Christmas is everywhere, she gets a foreclosure notice three weeks before Christmas for her father's candy store that she has ran for the last five years. To make some extra money and save the candy store Carroll and Grace travel to the big city. She stays with her friend Angie from back home whom just got a major part in a play. Angie works at Wolman's Department store where she takes Carrol to apply for a temp job. On waiting for Angie to check in she meets Tom who manages the store and offers her a job in the toy department of Wolmans, the city's biggest department store, Wendy can't wait! She thinks the store is amazing, with all the Christmas holiday cheer, unfortunately her excitement doesn't last long when the store's manager, Teanna (Ashanti), destroys the Christmas spirit throughout the store and replaces Santa. (Michael Durrell) with a hunky male underwear model surrounded by elfin "babes."
What Teanna is unaware of is that she has in fact sacked the real Santa. Unaware of his real "Santa" status, Wendy reaches out to the old man but it seems even he has given up hope. With her daughter losing faith in the holiday, Wendy realizes she must bring the true meaning of Christmas back to Wolmans before it is too late.
What I like the most about this was that it did capture "That feeling you have at Christmas when your a child". You think everything is possible
