For those who enjoy the Hallmark Holiday genre (I do. Guilty pleasure for sure) this was one of the better ones this season. Both leads were compelling, a bit more plot than usual, more development of supporting characters.

Yes, stereotypical, unrealistic and ridiculous as all their movies are, but within the Hallmark world, this was a good one.

Yes, Jordan and Grobglas made a cute couple, but the plot was ridiculously contrived. But that's a hallmark of these holiday movies.

Jordan also played a Jewish guy who couldn't recognize a lyric from ''Fiddler on the Roof,'' so he makes himself watch the movie.

On the BroadwayWorld message board, a couple of wags came up with wry new titles for this film: ''You've Got Mohel'' and ''Jew've Got Mail.''

I watch too many of them : ) and I agree with your assessment of both. I think A Christmas to Treasure was Lifetime, same genre of course.

One more from the correct crop. Lynn Whitfield in We Need a Little Christmas (Hallmark) gives a lovely performance and very much elevates the material.
