"Christmas Under Wraps"

"Christmas Under Wraps" is another movie from Hallmark's "Countdown to Christmas" series.  Lauren has a surgical residency at a San Francisco hospital and has her life planned out.  She's going to get a fellowship at the same college where her father had his and she's getting engaged.  There's only one problem -- her boyfriend doesn't like his life being planned out like a check list and breaks up with her.  Then...she learns the fellowship she wanted went to another doctor who had served with Doctors Without Borders.  Since she thought she was a shoo in there with her father's connections, she didn't apply for any other fellowships.  Her one alternative seems to be to accept a General Practice residency in Garland, Alaska!

Reluctantly, Lauren decides to give Garland a trial while waiting for another fellowship to come through.  She's surprised to learn that Garland is not a suburb of Anchorage and it requires a private plane to fly her in.  The pilot turns out to be the son of the town's major industry owner who has come home from Seattle where he'd been living as an architect.  Now he has to decide whether to continue as an architect or stay in Garland as the local handyman to then take over his father's business.

Against her better judgement Lauren falls in love with Garland, the pilot, and the spirit of Christmas that exudes there.  Now she has to decide if she'll follow her "plan" or her grandmother's advice to follow her heart.  pazt
