"Write Before Christmas" (It's a pun!)

After her boring boyfriend does her a favor by dropping a Christmas nut shortly before the holiday, she sends the five cards she planned for him to five people important in her life (best friend, aunt, brother, music teacher and boy band singer who helped her when her parents died).  The Hallmark film is made up of their stories, she interacting with the son of the music teacher (the two were on One Tree Hill together and I saw him before in a non-holiday Hallmark film; another familiar face is Lolita Davidovich, who I first saw back in 1989 in Blaze).  

I missed this when it was first on and caught it as Hallmark is replaying a bunch of Christmas movies again.  It is a well acted film that provides each duo their moments (brother is in the military, aunt is a widow who hooks up with a widower and his dog and the boy band singer finds his mojo again; no romantic love story there though love of his brother is important -- arguably a bit of a gay vibe to the extent Hallmark allows itself ever to do that).   It is more brief, but her friend also has to deal with her and her husband disagreeing on when to have a child.

The mandatory misunderstanding is over pretty quick since after all you have four/five plots.  Glad I found it.
