Even when

Going Oh Oh

Grade
school student Olivia Mead (Izabela Vidovic) believes that the Christmas wishes
read out in class by her classmates are beginning to come true.
She and her
friend Lucas Conroy (Tyler Humphrey) believe it's the long-abandoned house next
door to hers which she believes houses an angel that grants the wishes, as long
as the wish is made while throwing a rock at it, but then Olivia meets a
reclusive old woman living inside, Elsie Waybright (Della Reese), and together
they begin reviewing the wishes left at the gate in a “wish box” placed there
to stop people from damaging the property any further.
Olivia
makes a wish for a new husband for her single mom (Teri Polo), and the landlord
of the abandoned house (Kevin Sorbo) comes into their lives, but Olivia would
rather her mom had the new substitute teacher (Rob Boltin) but she just had to
let the Angel do her work.
Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the flat,
Not a creature was stirring not even the cat
The mince
pies had been eaten every one and all
And the dog
had thrown up on the carpet in the hall
Are you wearing Christmas tights?
Adorned
with a festive motif
Well if those
long festive limbs
Decorated
with Christmas motif
Were to
entwine about me
Then my resistant would be brief
On Christmas Eve the chimneys stand
Waiting for
Santa to go down them
And he duly
obliges each one in turn
To visit
every house because it soots him
Glenn Barrow (Dean Cain) is a widower who lost his beloved wife in a car
accident about a year ago and he and his three children, Elliot (Jet
Jurgensmeyer), Phoebe (Meyrick Murphy) and Janey (Jamie Dudney) are doing okay,
give or take some tearful memories.
But with Christmas approaching what the kids wanted most of all was a
puppy and they see a the perfect one at an adoption event, where beautiful Kate
Rivers (Hayley Duff) suggests that the family give Belle a permanent home but
Glenn says no, at first, but he soon weakened.
However Glenn had just started dating gold digger Dani Downey (Kristy
Swanson) who turns out to be allergic to dogs.
Glen is unsympathetic as the three kids were so happy with their pet,
which was obviously helping to heal their hearts.
But, they all underestimate two faced Dani who isn’t going to allow a
dog to come between her and the prize so she kidnaps Belle and dumps her at the
pound.
When the kids discover Belle has been nabbed by the beautiful gold
digger on Christmas Eve, the kids recruit their neighbourhood friends and set
out on an adventurous rescue mission to save her.
And when Kate Rivers steps in to help Glenn when he discovers that the
children have gone AWOL as well as the dog they find more than they were
looking for.
Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the house,
Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse
As earlier that night with the aid of cheese and a trap
I bad Mr.
Mouse Merry Christmas as the spring went snap
