Storyline

Boy meets girl. Rather, Jadin meets Ashley, the ultimate con artist. This good, clean, Christian story uses the best comedic gaffs, including nosy neighbors, hearing voices in your head, and the worst nightmare of having one's house and life taken over by con artists. It is rich in humor and self-inflicted misery that ends happily ever after.—Anonymous

Short Review

This is a very strange set up for what I think is a part family and part romance show. Presumably, Molly's childhood sweetheart must be the male romantic lead, one would imagine, except that for 1/3 of the show, you don't see him at all except as a child and a passing figure in the diner. And turns out, he is not an attractive romantic lead. He comes off as wimpy and as one dimensional as paper. He is expressionless whether happy or angry.The relationship between Molly's boss, Walter, and his daughters then seem to indicate that the show is set up for Molly to end up with her boss instead seeing as how he came all the way to see her (to oblige his daughters whom he didn't even take the trouble to shop for at Christmas) and then seeing Molly with his daughters, one would think, ah, there's the new Mommy right there because they adore her and vice versa. And then Walter bonds with Molly's parents, turning to her mother for parenting advice and he even works with her dad on the tree farm all the while going on and on about how wonderful Molly is (so do his kids). It felt like the writer couldn't decide who the romantic lead was in this show and like the tango, the viewer has to make some pretty sharp turns on the subject. Lame attempt to turn the focus when Walter says "I'd be proud to have you as my daughter." I choked on water. They did NOT look like father and daughter sitting outside the house whilst he was comforting her. It was a very sweet moment that could have ended with a kiss.Continuing with the strange, what is with the stretch limo going up and down the farm dirt road? It started to feel like the President had come to visit. And why was Lucas always dressed in such a sharp looking suit when he is living and working in a small town struggling to stay alive?When Lucas professes his undying love for Molly, it's like eating eggs that taste like rubber. Unbelievable. They spent like 5 minutes reconnecting the entire show! Undying love? Hey did we miss out on a huge chunk of the show? We saw more relationship building between Molly and her brother Ryan (!) than between Molly and Lucas. Rubber eggs.Aesthetically, Molly looks much better suited to be with Walter, her boss than Lucas, her childhood sweetheart who looks so young, he should be the boyfriend of one of the daughters (minus the suit of course)! Very disorientating watching this show.And this level of disorientation leads straight from the title. There is mention of the tree at the start and then it starts to magically buzz or jingle in her bosses home and then nothing more from the tree other than passing mention at the end. So much for the tree that saved Christmas.And finally, I don't know what kind of sense of conclusion we are supposed to feel at the end. Nothing has changed with their financial situation! They are still in debt, just to a different party. It seems like a horribly irresponsible way to live. To be sentimental and refusing to let go when they are so heavily in debt. That did not leave me with a feel good feeling.
