The Christmas Ornament (2013)

To me, this movie is perfection.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Blistering performances.

This film is made for people who been in love before and losst the person that they love for any reason.This film a woman runs a "Dream Cycle". It's been open for less than year but its struggling. See she opened the shop with her husband who died shortly after they opened. By Chance she runs into Tim who runs a Christmas Tree Lot. The two click but he is also not over his past girlfriend. Somehow these two connect but "The Ghost of Christmas Past" can back in unexpected ways that can possible harm a new romance they you are meant to be in!! A WINNER

Personally I think it's always a good thing when you recognize the leads of the movie, that gives me hope that the movie will be of good quality!Kellie Martin and Cameron Mathison headline this movie about a widow that is going to attempt to skip Christmas as it brings up too many memories of her late husband. Jewel Staite from Serenity/Firefly also stars as the best friend.Kathy's plan to skip all things Christmas doesn't go as she plans after she meets local Christmas tree seller, Tim. Is Kathy ready to make new memories and room in her heart?Cute, warm and funny. worth a view.

My talent is not writing but I want to say something about this movie.I was expecting it to be an average movie or worse, so I watched it last of three movies on Sunday evening. It should have been the first one I watched. I watch a lot of these kinds of Christmas movies and I personally rate everyone for myself, from 1 rating to 5 rating. Most of them, I rate about a 3. This was a 4 rating.I don't know if it was mostly the director, writing or acting that made this movie better than most. All of the performances were good, particularly the lead male actor. For him, "Natural" was the word that came to mind as I watched him. Even the small parts were good, like the Christmas tree sale helper.One of the messages of the film is very important of which everyone should heed. "Discover what you love to do and figure out a way to make money doing it."

My wife of a 22 year marriage passed from cancer in 2014. I still cant believe she has gone, and this will be my second Christmas alone. So I had a real special reason for watching this film, and I can only say it was well worth the watch.I knew I would relate to the lead female role and I did, I felt every expression, every doubt.Her female friend was simply and equally great in the film.Christmas movies always always have nice tie up endings, and don't we wish it was like this in real life ?Everybody handles their grief differently, I for one will never celebrate Christmas again, where as the woman in the lead role did, and she found happiness if I recall correctly, less than a year after the demise of her husband.My wife and I used to watch Hallmark Christmas movies on DVD every year, and I know she would have loved this film. So on behalf of my wife and myself, we give this movie 10 stars, I've ticked spoilers, but I don't think there were any.If there are any ladies out there who have lost their husbands, and you also enjoyed this film, you can contact me at the following email address if you wish.
