If the word "Christmas" was not used in every sentence it was used in every persons lines to the point of ad nauseam. Mrs. Shullivan and I enjoy watching many of the Lifetime Christmas themed films but this made for TV film was filled with so much depression and sadness (and of course the word CHRISTMAS) by the towns people of Angel Falls who all come out of their doll drums when an angel named Gabby Messingir (Rachel Boston) magically appears with her ear to ear smile and overwhelming abundance of joy. Oh, and no one says the word "Christmas" more often than the perky angel Gabby.
Gabby's mentor Michael D'Angelo (Beau Bridges) is the angel of wisdom and he appears periodically to guide Gabby on her quest to brighten the inner spirits of the towns people of Angel Falls. It's a simple plot depressed towns folk find the bright light of Christmas for their Christmas pageant and all is special once again in Angel Falls.
Blah...blah...blah....humbug
I give this Christmas stinker a 3 out of 10 rating. Saying the word Christmas ad nauseum the film does not make it a Christmas themed film, nor does a little bit of romance.
