Christmasland (2015)/ The Christmas Secret (2014)
This is not really a review. It's a blog entry about how I related to these two Christmas movies that touched my heart. After inheriting a 206 acre Christmas tree farm, a woman's plans to sell it change when she falls in love with the townspeople and meets a charming lawyer named Tucker. Director: Sam Irvin Writers: Daisy MacLean , Robin Archer and Jay Cipriani Casting By Dean E. Fronk Jeff Johnson Donald Paul Pemrick In 1997 I learned that the Santa's Village at Lake Arrowhead was going to close. I felt really sad about this. Years later I wondered if it was still open. I was directed to the Sky Park, so I guess in a way it's still open, right? So I did more digging and found out that it did close in March 1998, but some people were kind enough to buy it in 2014, restored it, added more attractions, etc. It has been fully operational for almost two years now, and I hope and pray I would get to visit it one day...
