Hayet crafts all the right elements audiences want in a Christmas story. It's charming, sweet, and full of so much heart! ”

“
All I have to say is: Hallmark Channel, when? (Other than after the WGA strike, obviously.) Hayet has created a holiday script that hits all the sentimental notes audiences expect while still sidestepping many cliches and obvious choices one would anticipate. I was particularly struck by the nuanced conversation around adult children’s obligations to their parents. This play is a no-brained for theatres—especially since it can be produced year-round! ”

A terrific play- humorous and earnest- worthy of reading and production at any time of the year! It also makes for a great listen on the GATHER BY THE GHOST LIGHT podcast! ”
