    Loved the movie; however, one thing lacking (unless I just missed it) and that was a hug between Joy and her son, at some point. After the piano duet it would have been fitting.
    Anyone agree?

      Yes, very much so. I thought the same thing – that it lacked an embrace or hug just before the end.

      I was thinking the same thing. I was waiting for them to hug which to me felt like an unfinished ending.

          Hallmark needs to come out with a CD of some of these memorable songs from their Christmas movies. Love love this version of Christmas Memories.

    Name of song Joy and newfound son sang and played on piano at end of A Joyous Christmas. I loved it. Words in it: “memories of Christmas make me cry”
