Christmas Jars_720p(480P)

7:44 p.m. Watching "Christmas Jars" for something like the third time. I need to find an antique desk and a really cute guy to restore it. Girl who is alone on Christmas - "While You were Sleeping" "Christmas Angel" Girl who is alone who by lying falls in love with a family who includes her in their family is forced to eventually confess to them - "While You were Sleeping" A journalist who is planning on divulging someone's Christmas philanthropic secret and then changes their mind - "Christmas Angel" A different story is chosen - "Christmas Angel"

Mystery Christmas Miracles/Christmas Jars (2019)- It's daft and I have seen a similar version of the story done recently in 'Christmas Unwrapped' (2021). That one worked better for me. It must have done, because I turned this film off! The supporting cast are all really annoying, especially the boss and the teacher, I can't say much more than that, because I only got as far as the teacher. I couldn't wait for a hot guy to turn up and brighten, what was to be fair, her miserable life. I liked the concept, but it was just too much to watch this time, when I knew I had better ones recorded. Maybe in the future, if there's nothing else going on, I'll try it again? Unscored as Unfinished.

Movie takes from the thousands of years old tribal & centuries old humanist concept of doing a random good deed for someone you know, as well as strangers, in hopes that they will in turn continue that ethos & kindness. A BYU sponsored script with a Christian bias, but done tastefully, i.e. not evangelically. My only criticism is that the setting involves well-off Americans helping less well-off Americans who, relative to most of the world would be seen as wealthy. It might have been a more universal, challenging & reality based story if it involved peoples living w/very reduced, often painful, lifespans from disease & hunger, and in culturally different parts of the world such as in Africa, Afghanistan.

Hallmark's best Christmas movie. Engaging actors, story line, romance, misunderstanding and ultimately redemption.

This is in fact - one of thee greatest Christmas movies of all time. I can't do it justice, you will have to judge for yourself. But here is what I think. Jeni Ross as "Hope" is a perfect choice for the lead role. With her performance she pulls everything together. Jennifer Gibsons' as Marianne poignant performance seals the deal. Tara Yelland as Hanna shows us the embodiment of "a woman." From the smallest details, to all the acting, direction and everything else that makes a movie - Everyone and Everything that had a part in this movie makes this a Legendary Christmas movie! Some say that because it touches upon this or that - makes it not a good Christmas movie. Yes - it does touch upon abuse and abandonment but more importantly it shows how the Spirit of Christmas... How love, giving and helping can help us all over come such devastating issues. It shows us what the Spirit of Christmas is and how the Spirit of Christmas helps us all.

Loved it every moment. Had me in tears at the end.

Loved this film! It exemplifies the true meaning and spirit of Christmas! If there were a modern corollary that brings a similar spirit to Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, It Is the Christmas Jars. This is a must-see for all your friends and family!

This is just the kind of warm uplifting story that I love this time of year but it fell flat and I can only put it down to poor acting and shallow characters
