Twelve Trees of Christmas 2013


     Cheri Jamison works at a local library in her Manhattan neighborhood.  She really loves her job and she also teaches literacy for children.  She loves that part of her job too.  Cheri finds out the library is going to be torn down for a development.  Originally, the library was the home of a wealthy family and they donated the building to be used as a library.  Now, the grandson of the builder is the one planning to tear it down.  Cheri comes up with the idea of having people who use the library decorate 12 Christmas trees with a theme of their choice that reflects their feelings about the library.  She is hoping the display will change what is going to happen and change the mind of developer Tony Shaughnessy.  Cheri has asked Tony’s grandmother Rosaleen to judge the contest.
     This is interesting and enjoyable, I liked it and I think it presents a good message for Christmas.  Cheri and Tony go back and forth with their spats over differing ambitions and choices.  Plus, there must be a double cross in the plot that causes one of them to mistrust the other.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)
