I love this movie. It's one of my favorite Christmas movies. My wife says it's too sad. I like that it's different and more meaningful than most of the fluff we get in Christmas movies.
My only question, and it doesn't affect the film much, is why is the family name Boyajian? No one in the family looks remotely Armenian, nor is it ever mentioned that they're an Armenian family. I thought perhaps one of the movie executives was Armenian, and wanted his name in it, but blonde cast members don't fit.
Anyway, I love the film and watch it most every Christmas season, although it has a bittersweet ending. Our son died in 2012, and we miss him, but know that we will be with him again.
