"When Todd, a developmentally-challenged 20 year-old with an affinity for animals, hears that the animal shelter is looking for families to foster a dog for Christmas, he’s eager to sign up. But George says “no adoptions” – even temporary ones – claiming he wants to protect Todd from disappointment. Mary Ann knows better. Something else is troubling her husband – something he doesn’t want to face. With Mary Ann’s support, Todd’s persistence pays off. He chooses a friendly yellow lab and names him “Christmas.” Bringing Christmas home is a revelation for George. The dog seems to know immediately that this is where he belongs. Watching Todd and Christmas together, George sees his son in a new light. And it soon becomes obvious that Christmas has actually “adopted” George, creating a bond that is stronger than past disappointments. A Dog Named Christmas is a joyful movie that is destined to become a holiday tradition."--Container.
