This gently paced movie centers around Mary and her family. Her family has fond memories of The Christmas Lodge where they all spent many holidays. Mary works in the city and takes a trip back to the country. She stumbles upon the old Lodge, now in need of repairs. Her grandfather is very ill and encourages everyone to help get the Lodge back in working condition. It means everything to them. Through it all, Mary finds a sweet love in the owner of the Lodge. This man is doing his best to carry on his family's lodge and is grateful for the help and re-newed friendship he finds in Mary's family.
The movie is a little slow in the beginning, compared to Hollywood films, but as I continued to watch, I realized the slow aspect of the plot was really calming and drew me in so much better than I could have imagined. I absolutely loved how the family would pray before meals! Their faith in God is a normal part of their lives, and was refreshing to watch.
This Christian Movie has it's heartwarming moments that help strengthen the viewer's faith. You'll also find a nice free bonus in the DVD Case - a limited edition painting - this is a 4" x 6" print depicting the beautiful Christmas Lodge.
Overall, the movie is suitable for all ages. It is a great family movie and worth watching more than once.
