Made for television, The Christmas Blessing is a sequel to the earlier CBS holiday offering The Christmas Shoes, with Rob Lowe briefly reprising his portrayal of Robert Layton, a lawyer whose life was forever changed by a pair of "enchanted" shoes. This time around, the shoes have passed into the hands of Tucker Bennett (Shaun Johnston), the son of a seriously ill youngster named Charlie (Angus T. Jones. As fate would have it, Charlie is a student of schoolteacher Meghan (Rebecca Gayheart), who is endeavoring to set up a day-care center for single moms in the small town where she lives. At the same time in the same town, young medical resident Nathan Andrews (Neil Patrick Harris), his self-confidence shattered by the death of a teenage patient on the operating table, has returned home to work in the garage owned by his dad Jack (Shaun Johnston). In due course, Nathan meets Meghan and Charlie, and becomes intimately involved in the trials and tribulations of both, leading to an emotional climax in which Nathan must decide whether or not to summon his dormant medical skills to save Charlie's life. Singers NewSong and Blake Shelton appear as themselves, respectively performing the title song and the new composition "Nobody But Me". The Christmas Blessing originally aired on December 18, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    This film was an emotionally moving story...with convincing acting notably the boy Charlie...Neil Harris and Rebecca Gayheart contributed the way one would expect and there were tears and joy matching the Christmas holiday with a cameo part by Rob Lowe..it was a bit hard to believe that he was the guy who influenced the very young Harris as a boy..he didn't look old enough in the present and the doctor didn't look young enough now..other than that a warm and cuddly film..31/2 stars

    I had just finished reading the book which "inspired" this movie. I enjoyed the book and was excited to see the movie. The movie was a BIG disappointment. Other than the characters having the same names and similar histories, the characters in the movie are really not the same people as in the book. The book is much better. I recommend reading the book and skipping this movie.
