The Santa Box (Movie Review)

by

We just watched the sweetest movie on Sunday as a family called The Santa Box.  It seems to me that the Christmas season is just what we need to feel some peace and joy in our lives right now with all that is going on in the world. This movie was very well done and we liked the whole cast.  We especially loved Kallie’s spunky personality!  This story reminds people of the true spirit of giving and showing kindness to all.  I love that it teaches the importance of not judging others and loving all.  The sweet friendship that Kallie forms with her neighbor teaches me to reach out more to others.  The selfless service and love Kallie and Otto show in this movie is just what we need to remind us of the true meaning of Christmas.  
 
The Santa Box
Here is a little synopsis of the movie…

For Kallie Watts, Christmas is anything but merry. For the last five years, the tinsel-strewn holiday has spelled disaster for her family, so when an apartment fire leaves Kallie and her widowed mother homeless just in time for the holidays, it comes as no surprise. There’s only one logical conclusion: Christmas is cursed for Kallie. 
 
California town, Kallie steps out of the moving van and into her worst nightmare: a real-life version of “Whoville”, overflowing with holiday decorations and brimming with Christmas cheer. Forced to navigate the complicated ins and outs of her jolly new surroundings, Kallie is shaken out of her gloom one day when she discovers a curiously crafted wooden Santa box on the porch, addressed to her. The moment she lifts the lid, the young teenagers’ life is changed forever as she rediscovers the true magic and meaning of Christmas.
