Goofs
When the packages fall off the roof of the car, only four packages fall and they land is a fairly linear pattern on the road. When Erin stops to pick them up, the packages on the ground are not only in a more random pattern on the ground, but none of the packages are left on the car's roof.

Quotes
Farrah: Your daddy calls this his love tree.
[Farrah giggles]
Erin: I didn't know he did this.
Farrah: Oh yeah. He says he carves the names of all the people he loves on this tree because even if he can't be with them to watch them grow up or grow old, he can watch this tree grow big and strong and know that everything will be okay.
Erin: So sweet.
Farrah: He couldn't love you or those girls more, or be more proud of you.

Not perfect, but watchable.

Christmas Forgiveness/Lonestar Christmas (2020)-

It's a very simple story and that's not a bad thing. It's done well although there are a few too many "Y'all's" and "Howdy's" trying too hard to let you know that they're cowboys and therefore they all sound a bit forced.

Marco Grazzini has got such an easy smile that shines from his eyes and a lovely face to back it up, which makes him easy to watch, but he just seems a bit out of place. With that said, I've never been to the lone-star state to know who belongs there. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't like me.

I have my own daddy issues, so I can connect with the character of Erin, I've always felt that my Dad was absent even before he died and I'd like to be able to talk to him now for some closure. At least she can still confront hers about the way she feels and she should definitely appreciate that, however, she is an arsey cow who enjoys wallowing in her misery.

She doesn't actually have an issue, it's all on her. She's the one that can't move on and is holding herself and, as a result, her kids back, where the Dad is keen to build bridges and do whatever he can, so I didn't like her or think her good enough for Marco's character Mateo.

I didn't need the singing and the young girls are not brilliant actors either.

Basically she's got issues and he's cute. And at least it's a slightly different tale and not badly produced.

6.30ish/10.
