A Lovely Christmas Treat!!

A short story that will warm your hearts for Christmas. This movie gave me so much hope and reminds that the end of the year and the holidays are all about hope, and love. It was merry, suspenseful, and had so many emotions that it brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy I got to start my holidays with this beautiful movie.

For the plot, it is a story of a young flying officer who wants to go home for Christmas to his girlfriend whom he dearly loves, however mid air his flight suffers multiple technical failures and he gets stranded over the north sea. The rest, you better watch and find out.

I remember a lie which really touched me, I guess it goes like "Lizzie I am not scared but sad of all the things we would not be able to do together..." Definitely lovely!
