From an adoptee

As an adoptee, who recently found both bio families thanks to DNA, and also finding that I was 50% a nationality that I had no idea of, I found this interesting. There are many emotions that you go through, and finally you come to realize that now you have 2 families, and you love both of them.

A Lovely Holiday Movie

Enjoyed this movie immensely. It presented what it had to present, how Hanukkah is celebrated, very well. A different religion, a romance, the discovery of new family, and how all of this was wonderfully combined into a dual holiday celebration, is a lesson for our time.

Previous Reviewer

To the previous reviewer who said there's no DNA test that would show Jewish:

My wife took one a couple years ago and it returned 99% European Jewish. It's not just a religion, it's also a heritage.

Sweet film filled with hope

This film was far more enjoyable than I anticipated. The merging of cultures and family traditions was beautifully done and could be a guide to all of us for respecting and learning about cultures different from our own. I enjoyed seeing Ben Savage again. He is good in this role. I was impressed with how sensitively Mia Kirshner was in her role. I found myself wanting to know more about the relationships Christina builds and am hoping Hallmark will give us a sequel next year to see how those relationships are growing.

Cub Fans?

Beautiful Story, but no one in Cleveland, OH, where this story is supposed to have taken place, would be a Cub Fan! Clevelanders would not refer to distances to some place as miles away, they refer to distances as minutes away.
