Add a few colorful supporting characters and you have the basics for a Hallmark Christmas movie - romantic love and people being transformed by the spirit of Christmas! O Tannenbaum" ( German: [oː ˈtanənbaʊm]; "O fir tree"), known in English as " O Christmas Tree", is a German Christmas song. Based on a traditional folk song which was unrelated to Christmas, it became associated with the traditional Christmas tree. Was a bit conflicted on whether to see 'Fir Crazy' (aka 'Oh Christmas Tree'), seen as part of a recent Christmas film quest started towards the end of last year and the reviewing is still ongoing and will be for a while yet. It sounded cute and heart-warming on paper and have seen a fair share of pleasant, inoffensive festive diversions recently. At the same time, it did not sound much different story-wise from other festive films, so there was the worry as to whether the film was going to feel stale and too safe. Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can’t see – The Polar Express

These quotes capture the essence of the Christmas tree as a symbol of joy, family, tradition, and the festive spirit of the holiday season. Funny Christmas Tree Quotes One of the things that annoyed me about this film, which happens in a lot of the festive ones is the superfluous characters that don't add anything to the story and are played way over the top. The particular example here is the Barista at the coffee shop, who is played for laughs in a film that's generally played straight. If he hadn't hammed it up, he could have been a good inclusion, but I could easily have done without him, without it effecting the story. I never thought it was such a bad little tree. It’s not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love – A Charlie Brown Christmas Sarah Lancaster has a nice smile that she showed off plenty, but beyond that, she wasn't charismatic or energetic. Eric Johnson did the best he could with the screen time he had.

Garrison Keillor: “A lovely thing about Christmas is that it’s compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.”– Keillor’s writings often touch on the communal aspect of Christmas, with the tree being a central gathering point.

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.”– Burton Hills HAPPY Holidays. Tis the season to be JOLLY. It's the most WONDERFUL time of the year. Really? Fully the first 1/3rd of this movie (commercial TV screen time 41 minutes) was a total downer. One bad thing after another. Pile on Elise. And there was more of it later in the movie. Well, as it happens then "Fir Crazy" was actually a surprisingly good Christmas movie. Sure, this is not going to become a Christmas classic in my household, but still it was an enjoyable and watchable movie. So director Craig Pryce definitely did something right with the script and bringing the story to life on the screen. The Christmas tree stands tall and proud, a symbol of hope, peace, and the enduring spirit of the season.”– Unknown Sarah Lancaster (playing Elise MacReynolds) actually carried the movie phenomenally well. I can't really say the same for lead actor Eric Johnson (playing Darren Foster), as his performance was sort of bland and mediocre, and he didn't have much charisma on the screen. The movie did have Colin Mochrie (playing Gary Dixon) on the cast list, in a Scrooge-inspired role, and he nailed that with perfection and definitely added a lot to the movie with his performance.

The modern lyrics were written in 1824 by the Leipzig organist, teacher and composer Ernst Anschütz. A Tannenbaum is a fir tree. The lyrics do not actually refer to Christmas, or describe a decorated Christmas tree. Instead, they refer to the fir's evergreen quality as a symbol of constancy and faithfulness. [1] The one thing Elise MacReynolds ( Sarah Lancaster - Christmas in the Smokies) remembers about Christmas as a child was working on the family fir tree farm and driving down to the city at Christmas to sell them on the lot. It is why she doesn't do Christmas and why she doesn't return home to the farm to see her parents as often as she should. But when at Thanksgiving she gets laid off from her marketing job she finds that the only job open to her is to return home to help sell the Christmas trees during the busiest time of the year. She reluctantly agrees and thanks to the return visit to the lot from the handsome Darren ( Eric Johnson - Call Me Mrs. Miracle) Elise even starts to get in to the Christmas spirit. But her troubles are not over as a the new owner of the neighbouring department store is a money grabbing grouch and wants to get rid of the tree lot and so Elise must find a way of stopping the city from shutting the business down. T.A. Barron:“The Christmas tree, twinkling with lights, had a mountain of gifts piled up beneath it, like offerings at the shrine of some indulgent god.”– From one of T.A. Barron’s works, reflecting the grandeur and generosity symbolized by the Christmas tree. And Fir Crazy carries off the Hallmark formula reasonably well. Its dialog is better than most movies of this type. It has spots of good acting, a couple of surprises, is well-paced and fun. I enjoyed watching it. But I never once felt choked up at the feel-good emotional climaxes (and I cry easily!) Maybe because the characters themselves never seemed to be very unhappy during the moments of greatest adversity; and if the characters don't seem to care then why should the audience? Scout Vespers", used by the Boy Scouts of America, is sung to the melody. [12] Similarly, "Softly Falls" in which used by the Girl Scouts of the USA, is sung to the melody, as referenced in the song "On My Honor". [13]

It really is a case of Elise and her cousin selling enough trees before Christmas as the boss plans to get rid off the lot. Elise is also attracted by a customer who does a lot for charity.
