Synopsis

MARTHA EVANS has been abandoned by her ne'er-do-well husband, who took all their cash and left her homeless and virtually destitute with her two daughters and stepson. Martha leaves town in hopes of finding a job and a place to stay, she finally finds a job at a sleepy rural diner, formerly famous for its home-made root beer. But with her car broken down and the bills piling up, it looks like it's going to be a bleak Christmas for the Evans family. However, there are warm hearts working behind the scenes that ultimately make this the happiest holiday of Martha's life -- a real answer to her prayers

Alicia I love this movie so much
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
kz917-1 Kristy Swanson stars in this Christmas film about a woman with three kids in search of a new job and place to call home after her toad of a husband skips town with all the family's cash. To make matters even more complicated one of the kids is a stepson, who isn't happy about being separated from his father (even though he is much better off for it!). They eventually land in a town where the residents are mostly helpful, but a few are out to scam her out of every dime she has. In the end Christmas spirit is out in full force!
Raymond Rodgers This television film shows that all of us need help at one time in our lives. It also shows that "It Does Take a Village". In this film Martha's no good husband, Cal (Bart Johnson), has left her for the last time, emptying her bank account and disappearing without a word. Hopeless, Martha takes to the road and winds up in a motel broke & homeless with 3 kids.This film sounds like it is a downer but in reality it is a great film to watch. This is a film about how all of us can help anyone at anytime. Small things you think you did can make a huge impact on people. This film is not far fetched. It is not just people in small towns in the United States that are like this. However in small towns word does get around fast when someone needs any type of help!
mraymond-91023 A Christmas Wish is an above average Hallmark movie, because a little girl, Mel Evans, (Kirstin Dorn), tells the story of the first Christmas to her little sister and step brother. The movie centers around their mom and them after the unfaithful, mean father abandons them just a short time before Christmas. He runs off with most of their money and leaves the mother in a very poor financial and emotional state.The mom, Martha Evans, (Kristy Swanson), packs their old car and takes the children on the road to find a new place to live, while she also looks for employment to keep them fed.Martha begs a restaurant owner for work. The lady owner, Trudy Willis, (Tess Harper), has a struggling business, but she has compassion for the hurting family and gives Martha employment. The mom and three children have to stay in a budget motel, until money can be earned for a permanent place to live. (All kinds of crazy things happen after this!) This is a sweet movie and the other two children, little Lilee Evans, (Lilee Clyde) and Miles Evans, (Kevin Herring III), a stuttering boy, play their roles very well. A handsome policeman, Joe Hopkins, (KC Wilson Clyde), rescues them, more then once! I won't tell you all of this story....There are some very scary, tearful moments, but Martha prays to God, and the Lord blesses them beyond her expectations! God uses the loving, generous townspeople and sweet Joe Hopkins! This is definitely a wonderful Christmas movie for all ages and I hope that you buy this DVD.The reason that I did not give it a "10" rating is because I like to see someone pray to receive and know Jesus, as his, or her Lord and Savior in a movie! In closing, I want to ask Craig Clyde to make future Christian themed movies that show this. Also, please make more movies that can are non-rated or G ones. "G" means "general audience", not for just children! I am 65 years old and my sons are 36 and 39 year old men. We value and only watch movies that are wholesome and moral. Merry Christmas, and may God bless us, everyone!
dickklip This is a very watchable movie, very typical of the Hallmark Channel Christmas movies, which my wife and I love to watch to get us in the holiday spirit. As is typical, we find a woman whose rodeo cowboy husband has abandoned her; leaving her broke and with three kids to care for. Things go from bad to worse as she battles a series of mishaps trying to find a new home for herself and her children. If you ever think that you've had a bad day or week, you've never gone through anything like this woman faces! The acting is, however, very good, from a variety of veterans, like Edward Hermann, Tess Harper, and others. Ultimately, as with all Hallmark movies, things are resolved in the final six minutes.This is a very enjoyable movie, and I was especially surprised and impressed with the plot theme of showing the true meaning of Christmas, and the power of prayer, something which most modern movies avoid. It definitely is a "feel good" movie, and one which teaches strong family values. Despite the predicable, and somewhat thin plot, and several loose ends being hastily tied up at the end, it is worth the watch.
