Movie #1600 " A Veteran's Christmas" was one of the better Hallmark offerings that I have ever seen --- In some ways it followed a formula, but in other ways it covered new ground. I can't remember seeing another Hallmark xmas offering with a female military personnel as a main character. I liked watching her trying to fit back into society, esp. after missing her dog that she had trained and worked with for several years. Also, the guy main character is a job in a small town, so I liked to be in his shoes part of the time in the film --- and think about what it takes to do that kind of job, and if you are offered one in a city, the pros and cons in making the decision to take it or not. The actors are winning (esp. the girl) and the story moves along quite smoothly, and it showed a slower growth of relationships instead of quick, abrupt ones that are hard to believe. I give it 4.8 and I highly recommend it.
