Christmas on Chestnut Street 2006


     A store clerk makes a mistake and 2 truckloads of Christmas lights are ordered by mistake.  The total of the lights comes to 60,000.  The store manager tries to shield the employee by saying he made the order but the store owner comes up with an idea to turn everything around.  He proposes a Christmas light-decorating contest with customers using their Christmas lights to decorate the homes in the town.  This idea will sell all the lights in their inventory and the prize will be a shopping spree at the store.  The homeowners on Chestnut Street make this a contest between the houses on this street and they go all out to decorate.  The store owner has enlisted his daughter as the judge to make sure the store manager wins the free shopping prize.  All the prize goods can be donated to charity for as tax deduction for the store.
     The store owner’s daughter, Dianne has her life completely planned out with a year divided into quarters.  Management, marriage and two daughters with options for their names already selected.  She doesn’t count on real life getting in the way mixing up her plans?  As you can tell by his plans, her father is a ruthless businessman who will boost store sales in any way he can.  Interesting twists on stores, neighbors and decorating.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)
