It's a simple story that reminds us all to cherish our own special Christmas memories
Mrs. Shullivan fell asleep through the middle of another of the bland Christmas themed films that rely on a persons childhood memories and the continued use of a Xylophone hitting the same sequence of chords throughout to help us reminisce about our own childhood memories.Of course there is a budding romance that evolves although we never see the happy couple kiss once, not even at the end of the film. The one bright spot was the classic red Cadillac convertible driving through the wintry streets of the small town with a trunk load of Christmas wish gifts for the unfortunate kiddies.
I liked that the film stars didn't wear out the word "Christmas" and they used it appropriately, and the auction of some old Christmas antiques reminded me of Christmas's past. But just like many of our memories that we do not consider epic, they are forgotten after time just like Christmas On Wheels will fade into the sunset by Boxing Day never to be heard from again.
I give it a passable 5 out of 10 IMDB rating
score 5/10
