Now available on DVD, THE PERFECT GIFT is an inspirational Christian movie about the reason behind the Christmas holiday. It is an extremely well-made production for the entire family. This is sure to be a Christmas classic. Like other Christmas classics it makes viewers seriously think about situations/relationships in their own lives and leaves them feeling hopeful in the end. It explains the sad truth that Christ is being excluded from Christmas – it is like the whole world throwing you a birthday party… and you weren’t invited! This question in the movie urges viewers to think how the world has commercialized Christ’s birthday, does not even acknowledge Christmas as His birthday. An example of this is that in America it is not widely acceptable to say “Merry Christmas”; we are expected to say instead “Seasons Greetings.” The film highlights the meanings of some popular Christmas symbols like the tree, wreath, candy cane, and the nativity. THE PERFECT GIFT is the story of a spoiled young girl, Max (Christina Fougnie), who feels cheated that Christmas is on her birthday. Max is too consumed with her birthday gift list and cake to be concerned about Christmas. Her overworked mom must ask neighbor, Tony (Matt Wallace), to watch Max after school. While hanging out at the church where Tony works, Max meets a mysterious drifter, Jess (Jefferson Moore). Jess helps Max, Tony, and the whole community understand why we celebrate Christmas. THE PERFECT GIFT reveals in a loving way the meaning of the perfect gift. A hint – it is NOT something you can buy. It tells the unchangeable story of Christmas in a humorous and exciting new way. The film has an uplifting message about standing up for what you believe. The film has a very talented cast and high quality production. The theme song Emmanuel (You are with me) written by Tim Brown and Mark Smeby is extremely moving. It is performed by Mark Smeby who also acts in the movie as bad guy, Blaine Pollett.
