US Army sergeant Cody Cullen&#8217;s horror tour in Afghanistan ends when his mate Jonesy is blown to pieces while they deliver medical supplies in Nurestan. Cody is sent home to return private possessions to Jonesy&#8217;s bride turned widow. On his way home he passes Nevada City, California, where he meets Faith Spelman, who writes the parish&#8217;s Christmas cards to lonely soldiers, coincidentally including him, an orphan. He happens to save her dad Luke from a serious car run-over. The Spellmans invite Cody home for dinner, then the Christmas tide. He proves a great help in the family logging firm. Vietenam vet Luke wants Cody as son-in-law, but although charmed, Faith still seems committed to rarely present fianc\u00e9 Paul, a wine broker.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6322\" style=\"width: 367px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2010\/11\/christmascard.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6322\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6322\" title=\"christmascard\" src=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2010\/11\/christmascard.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2010\/11\/christmascard.png 357w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2010\/11\/christmascard-106x150.png 106w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2010\/11\/christmascard-212x300.png 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6322\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sappy but romantic and certainly a Christmas favorite!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We went to the Huntington in the afternoon and then came home to watch &#8220;The Christmas Card&#8221;.\u00a0 Please join us!
