I bought this after seeing it in the store one holiday season. The main reason was because of Catherine Mary Stewart and Muse Watson. The rest of the cast were good in their own right as well. While the story is long at times, it is needed to explain all of the past, and Kathleen and the reasons she refuses to celebrate Christmas. While some may see no need for a secular message beneath the surface, it was the main part at the end. Kathleen truly learns that the power of forgiveness can really come from within.

Am I the only one that thought the boyfriend was out of line charging in *with no notice* to his (clearly not longstanding) girlfriend's house WITH his kid's suitcase and expecting the girlfriend to take care of the kid overnight? And then, later, he has the sheer audacity to get peeved at her for taking in the man who saved her life, because she may be endangering his daughter? This all happens early on as mostly the setup for the story, but I lost a lot of respect for the main character in those two scenes, because in everything else she's portrayed as tough as nails, and if she'd kept in character she would have told the guy to forget it. This scenario made it easy for the writer to set up the next events, but it made the story less strong. Even a small conversation about why he hadn't phoned her first to ask her if it was all right or even actually phoning and her agreeing to it would have saved both those characters in my eyes.

This was a very good movie and very touching, but I have to say that I feel that for being a Christian movie it was misleading. This is a spoiler so don't read if you don't want it given away. But basically the dad who abandoned his daughter dies and comes back unbeknownst to her and stays at her house for a couple of days. Later we as viewers learn that he had died and just wanted to see his daughter one more time.I loved this movie until then, because in the bible it says you die and are with God. Not here on earth tying up lose ends. And also there are angels and there are people and you can never be both so when he came back it had to be him. I don't know, I just wanted to warn some that this is not a very biblical movie with having a dead person on earth.That said it has a good moral story but for me I couldn't look past the fact that it is a professed Christian movie but the sam situation is not biblical at all.

A Christmas Snow is a must see movie that deals with the outward and inward problems we all experience in our daily lives. It is a fantastic story about life's mistakes, forgiveness, self reflection, family and the inner working relationships of each of these areas. Not being a professional movie critic, but, dealing with my own life problems and those of many friends and family, I can honestly say that this is a life changing movie. Whether it changes your life for moments, hours, weeks, months or a lifetime, it WILL change your life.Take the time to watch and experience the struggles of these characters as you reflect on your own life experiences. If you're not changed by this movie, it will be the only thing that surprises this viewer.Take the time to watch this, be patient as the movie develops it's plot and let me know if YOU cry in the end, I surely did!! Enjoy
