Dove Review

John Denver starred in this made for TV movie in 1986. It is a delightful Christmas story about a small town in Colorado that believes in a 100 year old legend, as well as in Santa. But when George, an architect played John Denver; is sent there on the pretense of a vacation by his boss to check out the land for development, he finds that it is similar to the town he grew up in.

This movie is a charming tale about the wonderful life in a quaint little town that has faith in their neighbors, friends, and the belief in a Christmas miracle. They are also willing to help each other when times get rough. The kindness that is shown in lovable Georgetown brings George to the decision that this is not a place that shows change.

Here is a wonderful Christmas movie that will entertain the entire family. Due to some language we award this movie the Dove “Family-Approved” 12+ Seal.
