Now, let’s discuss Christmas in Evergreen – Letters to Santa.
When you were a kid, did you write a letter to Santa? If so, what did you say in your letter?
When Lisa takes a last-minute trip to her hometown of Evergreen, she decides to help restore Daisy’s Country Store. The store holds vivid, wonderful memories for her. When she was a kid, she wrote a letter to Santa and the store owner, Daisy, a kind woman, helped her to pen the note. She discovers that the store owner has passed away and the store is now for sale. The town needs to find a buyer and she offers to give the store a do-over, making it look as grand as possible. She solicits Kevin as her contractor and off they go to get the store in shape!
Kevin also supposedly wrote a letter to Santa – a letter that Lisa unexpectedly finds in Santa’s Letter Box. Kevin supposedly wants to see Christmas in Evergreen as it used to be. Lisa and her newfound friends are determined to make Evergreen as it used to be during the holiday season: carolers, lots of Christmas decorations, and bells, they need to get those bells working. After all, those effects will help in selling the Country Store.
I really liked how the town rallied together to make sure the store was in tip-top shape and to make Christmas as it used to be. I also enjoyed seeing the side romance between Michelle and Hannah’s brother. I loved that Hannah’s brother was a family man, spending time with his son during Christmas.
I also thought that Kevin and Lisa belonged together. He’s a great guy – he really is. She’s a lovely woman and they make a cute couple. Kevin seems a bit hard-headed – I mean, come on, he’s seen Lisa with Oliver and has gotten the wrong idea about Lisa and her business partner twice. He needs to learn to open his mouth and talk to Lisa whenever he’s upset about something.
But, it turns out that the letter that was found was not written by Kevin, but, by his dad! That was a twist that I did NOT expect at all! It was so hard for both Kevin and his father after Kevin’s mom passed away. I really felt for them – Christmas was hard for them after she was gone.
Oh, I was also surprised that the mysterious key made the bells ring! I loved hearing those church bells and seeing Kevin and Lisa kiss at the end! How sweet! I also loved “visiting” Evergreen again! If you know of a town that’s like Evergreen, all Christmas-y with good cheer, I’d love to hear about it!
One thing about the movie that really stood out for me, and I wanted to ask you (blog readers) about: Lisa and Oliver’s business/best friend relationship. Do you think it’s plausible for a man and a woman to be good friends/best friends, without being romantically involved?
