Christmas movie review: Debbie Macomber's Trading Christmas

Debbie Macomber's Trading Christmas debuted on Hallmark Channel this winter, the third year in a row that Hallmark made a movie from a Debbie Macomber book. This one stars Faith Ford, Tom Cavanagh and Gil Bellows and is similar to the movie The Holiday that hit big screens a few years ago with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz. Here, Tom Cavanagh and Faith Ford find a home swapping web site and switch homes for the holidays. Tom's character is an author and needs some peace and quiet to finish his book and Faith's character finds herself alone for Christmas, with her daughter deciding not to come home from college so she decides to head to Boston to surprise her daughter. Once Tom & Faith are settled into their new temporary homes, things don't quite work out as expected. It turns out Faith's daughter went off to Phoenix with her boyfriend so Faith is alone again, except now she's away from home. Luckily for her, she meets Tom's brother, played by Gil Bellows, and a romance is started. Meanwhile, Tom ends up with an unexpected houseguest when Faith's friend decides to make a surprise visit for the holidays, not knowing that Faith has flown to Boston, and cannot find anywhere else to stay. And, a romance is started. It's a cute story and well-acted and I enjoyed it.

    You actually make it seem so easy along with your presentation
    but I in finding this topic to be actually one thing
    that I think I might never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and extremely extensive
    for me. I'm taking a look forward to your subsequent submit, I'll attempt to get the grasp of it!
