Storyline

So This Is Christmas is a film about choices and consequences. Ashley, a disillusioned eighteen year old, lives life in the fast lane seeking acceptance with her streetwise friend, Nicki's quest for guys and alcohol. Then a handyman working around her house abruptly invades her blended family's life. Before she can shoplift another mini skirt, she finds herself writing and directing a Christmas play for over sixty underprivileged kids. At the same time she runs headlong into her ultimate soul mate. They may live happily ever after unless her stepbrother, the drugged out Jason, gets her killed first.

Trivia

When Eric Roberts drove the car down the street and into the driveway of the Lane house he literally floored it and squealed the tires around the turn. After the take he grinned and said, "These scenes need to go fast or they're so boring." Yeah, but that was the producer's personal car...

User Reviews

Great movie with real life lessons

So This Is Christmas is a great film! We loved it! We can't wait to see it out in theaters so all our friends can see it too! I loved the fact that it was a blended family with a black mom and white dad. It is so appropriate for our world today, yet you don't see it much on movies or TV. I really loved the Christian beliefs added, we need more of this in our movies today! The movie was heart wrenching, funny and serious, so you had several emotions throughout the film, which in my opinion makes a fabulous movie! The actors did a great job bringing the characters issues to the light and learning from them. I could see the pain they all were facing and it was real!!! Great job!
