Movie #2021 ........................."Christmas Tree Lane"(Hallmark)

 Movie #2021 "Christmas Tree Lane" (Hallmark) I like this one --- besides having two of my favorite leads in these Hallmark xmas movies, the lead guy/girl  never lie or cover up anything in this story line --- that's a bonus because it breaks the formula.  They share an interest in music, in the town, in architecture that preserves the integrity of the original time period, and these things draw them together. It's a slow build in the relationship which is also what I like because it is more believable to me.  (but the flirting did go on for a while, but I like the two leads and they kept it real, in my opinion --- they are interesting enough to watch).   But at the end of this one, we knew that AliciaWitt was authentically singing and playing the piano, which differs from other Hallmark movies.  I'd give this 4.5 out of 5
