Susan
Nicholas (Jennifer Finnigan) is a copy editor for a New York Newspaper, but she
really wants to be a writer but is continually being knocked back.
But
she is given an assignment just before Christmas to write a seasonal piece for
the Christmas edition of the paper, the only problem is that she is a sceptic
when it comes to Christmas.
But
she is inspired to write an article about her family's much-storied heirloom, a
Christmas angel, which was hand carved by her great Grandfather.
It
has supposedly been instrumental in bring several generations of her forebears together,
but Susan is a cynic about that as well.
But
despite her cynicism the angel leads her to an accidental meeting with Brady
(Jonathan Scarfe), a cute, upbeat artist who with the help of the angel, whisks
Susan the grinch into a holiday-time friendship and hopefully more, if the
hand-carved angel, with the reputation to bring people together, work its magic
on the sceptical Susan as it moves her closer to Brady.
This
is a really lovely Christmas story and quite magical even if the hand carved
angel is really rather ugly.
