Review Date 2/3/2018PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN. Now Someone keeps reporting my reviews. I guess they are jealous because I do tell the truth. I want to point out that I never make snide remarks about actors weight or real life sexual orientation. If there acting is terrible or limited "I talk about that". If a story is bad "I will mention that" So why am I being "picked on"? IMDB? When one of my reviews gets deleted IMDB will not even tell me what someone found offensive. Well on to this review.In this film Dr. Wallace makes sure to go all out every year on Christmas decorations so that he can have the brightest and most festive house in his neighborhood. This year, he notices that his new neighbor has put up an even brighter and more lavish display. What is worse the new neighbor is former best friend ! So the fight is on when they declare war for the best Christmas decoration display in the neighborhood. After 5 minutes you know how it is most likely going to end but there is a few surprises along the way. The film however works and its nice and simple. Its very family friendly. It also has "The Christmas Spirit" that is written between the lines. The film entertains and it isn't preachy.

I saw for first time last night,It's bit like the movie Deck the Hall (2006)Well this movie, neighbours who are in the competition for the best Christmas decorations, to the extremes.This movie dose have a small back story, Bob Wallace makes sure to go all out every year on Christmas decorations, however this year new neighbours who have just moved that day, have put up there up.When his wife force him to see the new neighbours, it turns out that the men are carrying on a rivalry that started back in high school, as they used to be Old best Friend before they fell out.This movie dose have some really funny moments, there also the teen love things going on, which seem little too forced.They could have done better casting in this movie as kids and teens were really wooden at times.And the wife's early 30's, looks so much younger then husbands who looks like in his 70's.Overall all, it's was Fun sweet movie (If you liked Deck the Hall, you might like this).

Whimsical tale of two neighbors- the guys were friends years ago in another place, but they had a falling out and haven't seen each other in years. Now, they find themselves as neighbors, living across the street from one another. Naturally, one has a son and the other a daughter so you know that there will be some teen romance involved.One has always engaged in having the nicest holiday decorations for each year's contest. The other decides to rival him in this and eventually the wives, who had been amenable at first, become bitter towards each other as well.Hallmark shows its traditional family holiday spirit by ending the comedy on a positive note-both guys put their differences aside to aid an elderly lady neighbor on the verge of losing her home. It's really in the tradition of the holiday and this enhances the film.Some good comedy routine here.
