George Billings is an
architect working in New York. Alex
is his young daughter and they are both feeling sad for Christmas because they
lost their wife/mother last Christmas.
George works for Thomas Renfield and he’s being sent out on a job over
the Christmas holidays. George and
Alex decide to get away from New York and spend their Christmas in Georgetown,
Colorado. Renfield wants to buy
property in Georgetown to build an apartment and condominium community. When George stays at the town with
Alex, he sees how bad this new business venture will be for this community. He tried to talk Renfield out of the
proposal but he wants his company to move forward with or without George.
Everyone in
Georgetown knows everyone else and they all believe in Santa Claus. They have a ceremony with the retelling
of a legend that happened in their community. They have ‘letter’ day on Sunday at the Post Office and
everyone in town mails a letter to Santa.
They have a Christmas program every year featuring the children and with singing afterwards. George doesn’t want to see any of this
wonder and belief change. 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
