Christmas Comes to Willow Creek


Yup! fueding brothers - I don't think they even understand why.
Willow Creek - a little town in Alaska that is losing its Christmas spirit.

A teenage boy feeling rejected by his father [Tom Wopat] and not knowing how to express himself.
Then we have Pete's ex-girlfriend and Ray's estranged wife - talk about a mix-up. Complete with flash-backs to bring us up-to-date.

Their father's partner asks the men to drive a semitruck load of christmas gifts north to Alaska - to put their fueding aside for this run.
Of course, Ray [John Schneider] takes a little side trip to Reno much to his nephews glee. Yup! trouble again.

Of prime importance is the lose of "Christmas Spirit" both in the town of Willow Creek and by the brothers.

The slide of the semi into a snow bank was sure worth it.

How it comes back into their lives is the wonderful point of the story, an amazingly touching.
