I went to Prague with my family last year for Christmas. I think you'll enjoy it but dress with layers (maybe even with thermals) because it was very cold!

Nice! And thanks for the tip, I'll be shopping for deals on thermals as soon as the winter clothes come out.

Once again I must congratulate you on your third Hallmark Christmas movie review, it is really well balanced and the narrative is very enlightening. In my case, I am a veteran of the subject and yet I detect notable hits and some omissions, but the end result is entertaining and instructive. My most sincere congratulations. In this case, the three selected for this video are of my knowledge and appreciation. "Xmas Club" is great in the development of the main and secondary characters. Being a father of a balletist daughter, the theme strikes me to the core. The main character's family (Mathison) is great and so is the main character's daughter. I'm left wondering why Hannukka's gift to the co-worker, is she an Afro-Descendant Jew? It's an interesting topic to explore given that years ago I had the honor of learning about the history of the Afro-descendant Jewish tribe in Ethiopia/Eritrea at an event in Israel (my roommate at the Kibbutz). I even met the pope equivalent figure of this religious sect, whose headquarters is in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. In Lacey's film your story lost an important element...the participation of one of the best known Italian actors of the "Cinecita" action movies...the great FRANCO NERO (the owner of the pottery factory). It is remarkable how Lacey gets for his films actors of this renown for supporting roles (remember the spectacular role of Jane Seymour in another Hallmark classic). The movie in the "Evergreen" series is very good, maybe not as charming as the first one (with Ashley Greene), but very well done. The development of the romantic premise is very light and Jill Wagner is not one of my favorites, here I feel the character is a bit stiff and the "superhandiman" is more believable; to my taste I would have selected the third in the series (with Maggie Lawson and Paul Greene). The funny thing is that by chance, on a recent trip to Vancouver, I realized that the four movies of the "Evergreen" saga were filmed not in Vermont, but in a charming little town on the outskirts of this city, very close to the cold beaches of the bay, called Burnaby, which is a marvel, and thanks to Hallmark is now a tourist destination. The cafe and library are real and I had one of the best apple ciders I can remember.

You have shown to have such amazing insight to share and this is no exception! I had a feeling Franco Nero was pretty big but I had no personal knowledge of him other than he was fantastic and has a fabulous screen-presence in Christmas in Rome. And I love that you have a daughter who dances ballet. I have two boys so it was all sports and marching band in our house. You are clearly far more world-traveled than I, and I enjoy reading about your experiences, particularly in learning about the “Afro-descendant Jewish tribe in Ethiopia/Eritrea at an event in Israel.” Now that my boys are grown I hope to be able to travel more, and Burnaby is definitely now on my list, too. Being closer to the west coast, as I am, that shouldn’t be too difficult to go see. Thank you for sharing, as always!

@@MagicalMovieClub I am pleased to tell you that this afternoon I went back to see "Xmas in Rome" (I think this is the fourth time I've enjoyed it) and I was reaffirmed by the concepts of your video, plus every line assigned to Franco Nero is quasi-philosophical. It really is a great film full of great nuances and remarkable views of Rome. Sam Page has done few productions for Hallmark, but they are all brilliant, I feel he should get more opportunities. Outside of Hallmark, the character of "Richard" in "The Bold Type" series was delightful. The concept of the "cafe in suspense" is beautiful. I have flipped the coin nine times in Trevi and have always returned (I confess I didn't know the story of the three coins), there is a small "gelateria" in front of the fountain, on your right if you are facing the main façade, there you can buy a "gelato in suspense" in the summer season for the indigent and that guarantees, according to the grandmother who owns the gelateria, prosperity on your return home for the person who donates the gelato. The scenes in the bakery are great...
