A Holiday Movie worth watching;
This film is a biographical acount covering the early artistic life of Thomas Kinkade, the artist of lights. You are probably familar with his work that features scenes of cottages, people with an impressionistic-vintage style. What you are probably not familar with is how he started his career which started in Placerville, CA. While he was attending Berkeley University his mom was unable to pay her mortage after she lost her job. The brothers asked their dead-beat alcoholic dad but he was unwilling to help the family out.

This film was delight.
