Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa

White painted staircases in the finished shop, and then ....... they're not !!!

Story is good, BUT oh my goodness does Jill Wagner go OTT with her acting - everything is SO exaggerated from the wide eyes, to the arms waving and shrieking. Then there was the stuttering conversation when bewildered. I've seen her in better films, but in this she was annoying. Is she any better than Ashley Williams ? Well, take your pick..... Williams shouts her lines (like we're all deaf !) and Wagner overacts like her life depends on it. So, not much between them.

She thinks she needs to get a childhood dream out of her system but could this be the place she could finally settle down. When she starts an ambitious task, she might just need a Christmas miracle, or a hansom stranger! A great follow on movie. Normally I think they go down hill but their is no fear of that with this movie.

It was a fun movie to watch, and the bells ringing at the end made it even more special. But, NO choir EVER practices in robes. Those are reserved for performances or church services.

First I am a fan of Jill Wagner Hallmark Films. She is always good in.all of them. Second, this movie was so much better than the original "Christmas in Evergreen". Ms. Wagner's character was so relatable throughout the film.and the supporting cast was great. Holly R. Peete's character was much better as well. In the first "Evergreen" film her character was depicted as a whiny character who couldn't get anything done without the lead character's help. Very annoying. Totally opposite in this film and Ms. Wagner and her male lead had good screen chemistry. This movie made me cry at the end because of the side plot relating to the male lead and I look forward to watching this again.next year when Hallmark airs it.

Evergreen is beautiful! A perfect Christmas town! Would have loved to see Ryan and Zoe and more Ashley Williams.
