Hey Everyone, Happy November.
I hope you all are having a wonderful November and I hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving coming up soon!
I have decided to write about one of my favorite Christmas movies starring Tatyana Ali, Patti Labelle, Dennis Halbert and a whole wonderful cast of people.
The movie starts off with a young woman named Lucy who is about to receive a promotion at her job, she goes to a christmas event and that is where she learns about the promotion.
Before the event she is at home and talking to her sister Alice, and she is getting her Christmas Present ready for her, she tells her that she is so excited to see her and can not wait to spend time with her.
She hangs up the phone and goes off to her event and while she is there she gets a call on her phone and she thinks it's her sister Alice she is telling her the news that she just received when she hears a different voice on the other end of the phone, it is her Uncle Barney, she asks him what is he doing with Alice's phone?
He tells her that he is at the hospital and that Alice was in a bad car accident and has passed away, Lucy has to go home to see her Uncle Barney and prepare for Alice's funeral.
Lucy is the little sister of Alice and she has little sister syndrome she wants to be an overachiever in everything she does, she just became a junior partner at her job and Alice was coming to visit Lucy and see the nutcracker with her, as a result of the accident she was in she ended up getting brain damage and as a result she never woke up... and ended up not making it to New York City after all to see her little sister Lucy.
Lucy is now back in her home town Wisconsin and it is bringing back a lot of memories for her Alice also had a heart valve problem, she was an amazing violinist she played the violin beautifully and everyone loved to hear her play, and everyone loved her sister Alice she touched a lot of peoples lives and hearts in her lifetime of living.
Lucy is in Alice's bedroom and having different flashbacks of her sister one of the flashbacks is her sister playing a violin concert for an audience that is absolutely loving it Lucy isn't really feeling the concert she decides to leave and hang out with her friend Peter who is a boy she likes.
Alice notices that Lucy has left and before she can leave with Peter Alice tells her she has something very important to talk with her about, Lucy tells her to pick her up from Peters apartment at 10;00 and they can talk then.
Lucy is going to decorate a Christmas tree with Peter, Lucy and Peter are at the apartment and they are decorating the tree when suddenly the phone rings and the person on the other end of the line says there has been an accident and they should come to the hospital right away.
While she is still thinking of the flashback her Uncle Barney tells her since she is the next of kin she has to settle the estate of Alices home, It is now time for Alice's funeral lucy didn't realize that Alice had known and touched so many people in her life.
Lucy also met a group called FOA friends of Alice, they were always there for Alice day or night whenever she needed them and a surprise person shows up at the funeral Peter Alice hasn't seen him in forever not since the graduation or after her sister Alice passed.
She gets another flashback and she talks with Peter and lets him know that she will be on the next flight out of there once the estate is settled, a surprising twist is Peter is Alice's lawyer and Peter tells Lucy that she is has to stay in town for a month in order to get ownership of the house, she tells him she is selling the house once the time is up.
FOA comes to see Lucy and at first they aren't very welcoming to her at all because they feel like she wasn't involved in her sister"s life at all.
since Lucy will be in the house for awhile she settles in and meets Alice's cat Mr.Freckles he isn't really used to her either he misses Alice you will see later in the movie he ends up warming up to her it just takes him awhile to get to know who she is Peter brings over a Christmas tree to ring in the Christmas Season, and they decorate it together and start talking the record of Nat King Cole is playing.
Peter asks her why she stopped talking to him after the accident she tells him she stopped talking to a lot of people, that is why she left for New York she wanted to bring Alice with her, Alice wanted to stay in Wisconsin especially after their parents passed away, later the FOA stops by the house again and tells Lucy that they will be by later that day to finish a quilt they had started to make with Alice, and she goes ice skating with Peter he tells her the past is stuck in her and she is stuck in the past.
Lucy tries to bond with Mr. freckles again and she finds a drawing of portraits that Alice drew and she starts to think maybe she didn't know her sister as well as she thought, FOA arrives at the house to make the quilt and they engage with Lucy.
Lucy even gives them a hand in quilting and they talk about what Alice was like before the accident, Lucy is sharing memories of Alice and what she was like and all the things Alice did and went through and she ends up having a breakdown with the talk of Alice.
She is putting the quilting things away and while she is putting the quilts away she finds several quilts with the name Mave Woven in the quilts and she is wondering who Mave is....she thinks Peter knows who Mave is she decides to go see him and ask him, Peter is ice fishing.
Peter says he couldn't tell her who Mave is, while they are talking they catch a fish and ended up getting distracted from the conversation, later they go to a Çhristmas Tree lighting together and Peter tells her that he envisioned the perfect woman and it is her, Lucy decides not to sell Alice;s house and help save a cafe with the FOA she starts a petition and tells everyone to fight back.
later Peter invites Lucy to a Christmas Party at his moms house and everyone is wearing Ugly Christmas Sweaters, later in the party Peter shares a letter with Lucy that came in the mail it is from Mave who Lucy was wondering about here is the boom Mave is Alice's daughter that makes Lucy her aunt.
Lucy can not believe Peter wouldn't tell her this before and is saddened and frustrated at him in the moment, Peter tells her that Alice didn't want anyone to be disappointed in her she told him to keep Mave a Secret.
Lucy can't be in the town or around Peter right now with thinking about what Alice's life could have been like if she was still Alive, Lucy blames herself for what happened to Alice Peter tells her to forgive herself and he arranges a meeting with Mave.
Lucy doesn't want to meet her niece it is too hard because she is thinking of her sister Alice The FOA encourages her and tells her to meet Mave, and they end up loving and accepting Lucy just like they loved Alice, Mr Freckles finally accepts Lucy too and warms up to her.
You will have to see the rest of the movie to find out what happens next, I can assure you it is a happy ending for everyone,
I decided to write about this movie because I am a big family person, And I love the way the story is told in the movie and how each character in the movie has a storyline that you can follow easy and you can feel each of the characters hearts and how they are feeling in every part of the movie.
I also like the sister relationship between Alice and Lucy it is good to have wonderful friendships and amazing girlfriends that you can count on in life and know they will be there for you always whatever problem or situation you are facing they will be right there to help out.
I have been blessed with amazing and incredible girlfriends in my life they are always there for me and help me out whenever I need help or just need someone to talk to or lift me up.
I also have have an incredible big sister, I love her with all my heart I have wanted a big sister as long as I can remember she takes good care of my heart!
She is a good person to have in your corner, All the girls and mentors I have in my I am so grateful and thankful for all of them and what they all have done for me! I have a wonderful crew that I will forever be grateful for and thankful for!
My favorite scene in the movie is when Alice and Lucy go to the store and buy a Christmas Cookie, Alice tells Lucy that she can have the cookie, Lucy breaks the cookie in half and they both end up getting to enjoy the cookie together, I also like when they hang the Christmas wreath on the door together !
That is a cute scene! I want to encourage you all to tell the people who you love and care for to tell them while they are still here and can hear it and are alert, please tomorrow is not promised.... And check this movie out! It is a cute movie and it will warm your heart! Enjoy ‼️
