Movie #1620 .........................."Coming Home for Christmas"

Movie #1620 "Coming Home for Christmas" was an enjoyable movie  --- I'm not sure why I got involved in this one, but Winnie from "Wonder Years" seems to suit Hallmark movies really well.  She is able to woo not one but two rich guys in this film AND a tough as nails Grandmother.  She is able to convince everyone NOT to sell their big mansion just because she decorates it with silver bells and plans a great party!  Flimsy, I know, but it's better than average.  I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars and worth a look see, if you are looking for one that is better than the others.


"C OMING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS"   2017

"Lizzie Richfield is at a crossroads when she lands a job as house manager for the exquisite Ashford Estate in the Virginia countryside. While preparing the place for sale, Lizzie plans one final Christmas Eve gala for the Marley family, though they seem to be a family in name only. There's Kip Marley, who never met a party he didn't like; Robert, the handsome but all-business executor of the estate; Sloane, who arrives with her two young children, sans husband, and the 90-year-old matriarch, Pippa, a spitfire who doesn't want to put the house up for sale at all. As Lizzie is inserted into the home and the lives of the Marley family, she finds herself drawn to Robert - even as Kip pursues her. Can she navigate her suddenly complicated love life while helping mend family feuds and maybe teaching all the true spirit of Christmas?"
