Harry Barnes does not hate Christmas... He simply wished it to be over. His wife and daughter are gone, and he hadn't spoken to his son, Sam, in years. He can't bear to think of them, so he won't. Elsewhere, Sam Barnes had moved his family around the world for his military duty, but now he's back to stay, but his father still blamed him for that one night. But when his own daughter Riley wanted to meet grandpa, he couldn't refuse. On a snowy Christmas Eve, Harry and Sam, are visited by the spirits of mother and daughter, who only have a few earthly hours to bring this family back together... Old secrets are revealed, old sins redeemed, and a love that is everlasting.
Yes, I classified this under paranormal, but it's like A Christmas Carol is paranormal when Ghosts move Scrooge around and show him the error of his ways. In this case, the spirits showed some secrets that it was wrong to hold a grudge for something that is no one's fault. Sometimes things just happen. And forgiveness is necessary.
