  1. This was such a beautiful, sweet movie. This had better come out on DVD and soon. I get annoyed when it takes 2 or three years to bring these gems out to buy! Does anyone know who and how to get a hold of someone to get it put on DVD????

    Add another fan of this movie. I am surprised it is not included with either of the Hallmark Channels. The new movies are very good and enjoyable, but rather than repeating all them so frequently, why not add The Christmas Shepherd, and Matchmaker Santa a few times?

    2. Oh my gosh! One of my most wanted. YAY! I see Debbie Macomber's Dashing Through the Snow is also available now. Holding out hope for Window Wonderland next!

    3. I was so happy to see that one new on DVD, too, Amy! Andrew Walker and Meghan Ory are just so perfect in it together... plus, it's such a fun story! It's rather nice to see a couple simply fall in love without any other love interest hanging around, you know?

      As for "Window Wonderland" on DVD... I know just what you mean, Amy! I keep on hoping, as well! :)
