Most Christmas movie plots are pretty predictable, and this one is no exception. It has the standard Christmas elements: new nanny; recalcitrant kid/kids; widow/widower; chip---or memory---on the shoulder; mistaken perceptions; happy ending with the girl/boy marrying,or at least dating seriously. It only lacks a 'real' Santa Claus figure in the plot, or maybe a reindeer or two. And despite the hype about the writer, it's just a Christmas oriented 'Nanny McPhee.' Consequently, this is not an impressive work of art for the writer, Debbie Macomber. But, for Christmas movies, it's good. And I've chosen to watch it more than once.
