I do not normally watch the Hallmark Christmas movies because they all seem to blend into each other. But this was recommended because I am a Fern Michaels fan and the story is based on one of her novellas. This was sweet and endearing. The older gentleman who kept checking WebMd was true to form for anyone who looks up their symptoms on-line. Let's face it...life is NOT like a movie. That's why we watch them. A nice escape from the challenges we face every day. A good "meet-cute."
