Reviews :
The movie depicts an American family and a father's and son's strained relationship with the mother often trying to be the bridge between the men in her life. The father, Frank Morgan (Kenny Rogers), is a photographer who is too often absent, according to his son. When his son David Morgan (Kenneth Rogers Jr) finally attends a display of his father's work despite still being bitter about their relationship, he finally realizes, through his father's work and the curator, how important his family really was to him.
“In the fall of 1981, Kenny Rogers released his very first seasonal album, appropriately titled Christmas. Since then, the Country Music Hall of Fame member has released successful holiday follow-ups in 1984 (Once Upon A Christmas, with Dolly Parton), 1989 (Christmas In America) and 1996 (The Gift). Suffice to say, nowadays the season and Rogers seem to go together in a magical way. In an effort to promote that first album 30 years ago, Rogers embarked on a successful Christmas tour that has become a yearly tradition ever since.” Chuck Dauphin, Billboard
