This could have been a better movie if the casting was better.

It has a great storyline for a Christmas-Romance movie.

But in spite of the reviewer that stated "Brotherton is a very multi-faceted actor" I found his gayness distracting for a lead "male" actor. It was so obvious and distracting when interacting with D'Osay. He probably could have been a good choice for supporting male actor but obviously not as a lead. He was OK in touching moments with his "daughter". Overall I would have rated this as an 8 for the story.

I thought it was going to be about the coming planetary alignment on Jan 25th 2025 but there where a few conjunctions in 2024 of only 2 planets.

I know that this is a romance movie and it's not supposed to be accurate but a girl that was raised in the Rockies and any man that has gone to school should know that bears hibernate in the winter especially by Christmas. I have never seen a man (Jack) compete against a woman (Jill) in any lumberjack competition and I have seen a lot as my brother competed as a lumberjack. Lumberjack competitions require a lot of strength and speed in which men and women are very unequal. A person who hasn't trained in while would be so stiff after the first day and would need a couple of days to recuperate as she seemed to be after the first training session. Any one that has done any manual work in a while know that your hands would be so blistered, after swinging an axe, which would stop the training longer than the sore muscles. Finally...why would a highly competitive good looking woman settle for a plain looking aging dude like Stephen Huszar?
