Synopsis
Widower Daniel Burton (Cyrus) is doing his best to raise his three children on a limited income. But living in Canaan, TX, during the Civil Rights Movement, he soon faces more than just financial difficulties. His 10-year-old son, DJ (Zak Ludwig, “Martian Child”), has made an enemy of his classmate, Rodney (Jaishon Fisher, “Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story”), simply because Rodney is black. In an attempt to remedy the situation, Daniel and Rodney’s grandmother, Miss Eunice (Candus Churchill, “The Andromeda Strain”), decide to force the boys to spend time together. It’s slow going at first, but when the boys come upon a wounded puppy, their shared compassion pushes any racial tensions aside, and a lasting friendship is forged.
The boys remain friends through their teenage years, and when Miss Eunice dies, Rodney (Matt Ward, “Lullaby For Pi”), goes to live with DJ (Jacob Blair, “2012″) and his family. With money tight as always and the holidays approaching, Daniel can’t afford the presents he wishes he could give his family, and he tries to find a way to make Christmas special. What he does give them is a sense of hope, which Rodney in particular takes to heart. But when racial tensions rise in Canaan, the Burtons’ white neighbors try to destroy the hope Rodney and the rest of the black community have built up. As he comes to understand the true meaning of family, Rodney will soon have to decide where he belongs and what to do with the inspiration the Burtons have given him.
Review
In the beginning of this movie, DJ and Rodney don’t like each other. DJ’s father and Rodney’s grandmother come up with a clever solution that brings the boys closer as they would. Living in Canaan, Texas in the 1960′s, it is not easy for for a black boy and a white boy to make friendship. We see the lives of two families – one white and the other black and how they bring them together. They celebrate two Christmas. This movie has strong messages about loving and neighbor from the Bible. Hallmark make these movie good lesson for kids to make friends in any race.

This is the type of movie that is worthy of praise. It’s a positive, value-driven plot that concentrates on character and the nobility of good Americans.
Billy Ray Cyrus is the star of the movie!
