Goofs

Before Cody enters the diner where he meets Faith, he parks his motorcycle in the street, which is clear from any snow. When Cody leaves the diner a couple minutes later, there is snow in the street and on all the surrounding stores, yet the weather remains the same.

When loading the truck to cut more trees, they have a Stihl and a Craftmen, when they get out of the truck and grab the chainsaws, they are a Homelite and an Echo.

When the camera shows the church from the back in the beginning of the movie you can see Cody in the third center row from the back on the left hand side with the inn keeper he met later on in the movie when he first gets into town.

After cutting the Christmas trees, and loading them in the back of the truck, the trunks are shown with old, not fresh cuts.

After Cody finishes his lunch at the diner, and he goes outside to his motorcycle, he walks past it and crosses the street to go to the hotel. He only has his helmet and gloves in hand, but when we next see him climbing the stairs of the hotel to get to the second floor front desk area, he also is carrying another bag in his other hand.

In the scene where the Commanding Officer is giving Jones's dog tags to Cullen both dog tags are there. Military members killed or injured have one dog tag left with them, the 2nd dog tag is removed and used for notification purposes. Jones was KIA, so the CO would have only had one dog tag to give to Cullen in real life.

When Cody and the other soldiers are delivering the medical supplies, the mortar shell that hit them would have killed or at least seriously injured everyone there being that they were in such close proximity to each other. They all were easily within the kill radius of a mortar round.

Cody Cullen is a Master Sergeant (E-8) in the movie, but the cover image shows Cullen wearing a Class A uniform with Sergeant (E-5) stripes.

The commanding officer who gave Cody such a generous amount of leave time would never have been permitted to do that in real life. In 2006, (the year this TV-movie debuted, GWB's controversial (and, impo, unconstitutional) use of "stop-loss" would have prevented Cody from remaining stateside any longer than it took to attend the dead fellow soldier's funeral. Probably no more than 72 hours, at most.

When the commanding officer is giving the dog tags he says a widow. Jones and his girlfriend were not married yet.

When Luke goes to the Sacred Cross Medical Center the trees all have leaves even though it is supposed to be December.

In the scene when Cody is being asked to take Faith to the Christmas tree lot, there is a picture of a baseball game in the back of the newspaper, even though it is Christmas (December).

When Faith describes her Christmas card she said she attached a photo of their church, but in reality the photo is of the family house (with a carriage out front).

When Faith takes Cody to show him Luke's magic spot', she show him a small pond. She then asks Cody if he likes it. The camera then show the view as a large lake with a house on the other side. The view then returns to a small pond.
