The Christmas Card Page #2

Synopsis: US Army sergeant Cody Cullen's horror tour in Afghanistan ends when his fellow soldier Jonesy is killed in an attack while they are delivering medical supplies in Nurestan. Cody is put on leave and goes to return private possessions to Jonesy's bride turned widow. On his way home he passes Nevada City, California, where he meets Faith Spelman, who writes the parish's Christmas cards to lonely soldiers, who had coincidentally included him, an orphan. He happens to save her dad Luke from a serious car run-over. The Spellmans invite Cody home for dinner, then the Christmas tide. He proves a great help in the family logging firm. Vietenam vet Luke wants Cody as son-in-law, but although charmed, Faith still seems committed to rarely present fiancé Paul, a wine broker.

What can I do for you?

I was hopin'

you had a room available.

Ah, yes, quite a few,

actually.

But that's

only for tonight.

After that I'm filled up

through Christmas.

No, one night

would be fine, ma'am.

Oh, good, then I'll

have you fill this out.

If you don't mind.

So, you visiting folks

for the holidays?

No, I'm...

- I'm just passing through.

- Well,

then we'll have

to do our best

to impress you

quickly, won't we?

Uh, breakfast is at 8:00.

I was thinking of attending

church in the morning.

It's right

at the top of the hill.

We could sit together.

If you'd like, I mean.

Oh, ma'am, that'd

be great, thank you.

Oh, your keys, sir.

God, rest ye

merry gentlemen

you dismay

remember Christ

our savior

was born

on Christmas day

to save us all

from Satan's power

when we were

gone astray

of comfort and joy

Mornin', bill.

Hi, Dennis, Phyllis.

Good to see you.

Hi, there.

Welcome. Welcome.

Oh, mornin', son.

Morning.

- Nice shine on those shoes.

- Oh, thank you, sir.

Oh, I bet

you're the visitor

that Selma wants

to sit next to today.

Yes, sir. She's

quite the host.

Well, you couldn't

pick a finer church.

It's beautiful.

What's your name?

Uh, Cody Cullen, sir.

Deacon of the month,

Luke spelman.

It's a real honor

to meet you, sir.

Honor?

I guess you haven't

caught wind of my reputation.

Oh, come let us

adore him

oh, come let us

adore him

Christ the lord

- good morning.

- Good morning.

There's an old

Hebrew saying,

"be kind to strangers.

By doing so, we may be

entertaining one of God's angels."

- That's right.

- So we'd like to welcome and warmly greet

any of you who might

be a stranger among us.

Here visiting

for the first time.

A... a-any visitors,

please stand...

- At this time.

- Come on Cody, stand up.

We wanna make

you feel welcome,

make you feel at home

here in God's house

on this fine holiday season.

Ah, welcome,

young man, welcome, sir.

Now we'd like

to invite you

for refreshments

after the service.

All right, let's sing

number 240.

Hark, the herald

angels sing.

Hark, the herald

the newborn king
