Looking for a Great Family Movie for Thanksgiving Weekend? Try "The Christmas Candle"

The Christmas Candle

Earlier this month I was invited to a sneak preview of a great new family movie. "The Christmas Candle", set in early 20th century England, is a very touching movie about faith, Christmas and family. It is being distributed by EchoLight Studios, a company focusing on family-friendly movies. I met with EchoLight CEO, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, at the sneak preview in Houston.

I asked Sen. Santorum how he got involved in the movie business and why he picked this very unique movie. "I took over the CEO position of EchoLight Studios, a faith and family movie distribution company," Santorum explained."The producer of the film, saw that I had taken over and they were looking for someone to distribute their film."

"They showed me the film," he continued, "and as soon as I saw it, wow, this is special. This is a beautiful movie, really great quality and a great message about bringing Christ back into Christmas. Its got all the Downton Abbey wonderful feel of a British movie, and at the same time its about angels and miracles. Things that uplift us during the Christmas season."

After the sneak preview, I spoke with several members of the audience and they were all very moved by the experience of the movie.

Britains Got Talent superstar Susan Boyle makes her film debut in The Christmas Candle. "She has a really cute role in the film," Santorum said. "She obviously sings in the movie and the song that she sings, Miracle Hymm was actually written for the movie and is on her CD. Its a beautiful, uplifting song, a new Christmas song that reminds you of the miracles, the miracles all around. And the miracle, of course, is Christ with us." Boyle performed the song the following morning at Lakewood Church in Houston.

This movie is an absolute must-see for this Christmas season. You can help send Hollywood a message that we, as consumers of movies, want more family and faith oriented films. Tickets are available online. Go see this movie and I promise you will leave well entertained and filled with the love of the Christmas holiday season.
