“Thomas Kinkade presents Christmas Lodge: a place where a heart-warming past and loving future meet for one remarkable group of people. During a weekend trip to the mountains, Mary (Erin Karpluk) finds herself at the now- dilapidated lodge where she spent the holidays with her family growing up. She becomes determined to restore the building to its former glory. Inspired by her grandfather and guided by her grandmother in heaven, Mary throws herself into the project, and during the process finds herself drawn to Jack (Michael Shanks), a handsome man who loves the lodge as much as she does. Historically unlucky in love, this chance encounter allows Mary to renew her faith in life and discover her one true love. For an uplifting story about the importance of faith, family and the true holiday spirit, go to the Christmas Lodge.”
I had to wait until Halloween was officially over before watching the Christmas Lodge. What a wonderful story! I did not watch it with my kids, as I was not sure what was all involved in the movie. I can’t wait for them to watch it. The Christmas Lodge is a good, wholesome, heartfelt, movie. It is MORE than appropriate for kids of all ages. I love that the theme throughout the movie is traditions, helping others out in time of need, and the miracles of the season. I was immediately captured by a sweet, caring grandfather that resembles Santa, a love interest (it is very, very clean), and a child and her dog (my kids will love this). The setting of the movie is so beautiful. I believe the Christmas Lodge was filmed in Northwestern part of the US given Mary works in Settle. It is a place I would LOVE to visit. I wish I had my own Christmas Lodge that I shared with my family.
Do you have any family holiday traditions? Do you and your family gather at a special place? I would have to say that my family holiday tradition and special place is Michigan. I have never not been in Michigan for the Christmas season. For 42 years I spent Christmas Eve and woke up on Christmas day at my mother’s house. Now we spend Christmas Eve and Christmas day at home and travel to one of my siblings (in Michigan) on the 26th. I would love to hear about your family holiday traditions, please leave me a comment!
I can’t wait for the weekend to watch the Christmas Lodge with my family! I am so excited at the thought of cozying down and watching a great, wholesome movie!
