Name: A Perfect Christmas
Logline: A newlywed couple celebrating
their first Christmas try to make everything perfect for their visiting
families.
Starring: Susan Abromeit as
Cynthia Faber; Dilon Casey as Steve Faber and Erin Gray as Patricia Faber.
What's to Like about It
Cynthia and Steve have such good intentions that I couldn’t help
but cheer them along. As their families
arrive one by one for Christmas they are bringing not just their own bags but
their own baggage. It is a heartfelt
reminder that “the best laid plans..”
The subplot involving Steve’s ethical decision is truly welcome in
this year of moral vacancy. Although we
never learn the outcome I can only have faith that Steve sleeps better at
night.
I was also grateful that (should I ever become one) even a highly
judgmental mother-in-law can be won over with popcorn.
And, oh, those hand-knitted sweaters!
What's Not To Like about It
Cynthia and Steve wear suits and dresses at home to decorate the
tree. Steve even descends from the attic
in a jacket. Question to self: Do we
need to step up our own wardrobe here?

The Extra Something
Be sure not to miss the reference to “A Charlie Brown Christmas” -
a little tree just needs a lot of love.
