The rules for the posts this month. Only Christmas movies. No movie can be one that is already considered a classic such as It's A Wonderful Life or White Christmas. You have been warned. Let's start with The Christmas Candle a piece of religious slop from last year.

In this film, an angel appears every 25 years to a candlemaker's shop and turns one of his candles into a magic candle which will grant wishes to whoever lights it. The film is set in a town in jolly old England. The town is run by a rich woman who seeks out a minister for her Church and who will buy into this magic candle stuff. The town lives in a state of poverty but the lady "to the manor born" wouldn't think of giving money to anyone when she can get these people to run around chasing their tails looking for a magic candle.
Well into this cheery little scene comes a minister who has sort of lost his faith in God after his wife and daughter have died of consumption, a noted movie disease. Guess who ends up getting the magic candle, gets his faith restored and for good measure gets the only hot chick in the village. It really was a magic candle after all.

There is nothing really all that bad about this film. The problem is that there is nothing particularly special or good about it either. I don't doubt the sincerity of the makers of The Christmas Candle I just question their choice of material and the way they handled it.
