Christmas Angel, DVD

Every year before Christmas break, the students in Olivia Mead's class present "My Impossible Christmas Wish" papers, but this year, something unusual is happening... the wishes are coming true. Olivia (Izabela Vidovic) takes note, because she has been wishing for a long time that her single-parent mom (Terry Polo) could find the right person, a man Olivia could call "Dad".  
  
Olivia is soon convinced the answers are linked to the abandoned house across the street - known throughout the school as the "wishing house" - when she sees a bright glow and a mysterious woman at the window. When she sets out to prove it's an angel, Olivia creates a stir that puts her at odds with the property owner, Dr. Nathan Davis (Kevin Sorbo), a cynical man who has been beaten down by tragic events in his life.  
  
What Olivia discovers is a reclusive and mysterious inhabitant of the house, Elsie Waybright (Della Reese). Elsie is no angel, and she has plenty of secrets to keep, but she does have the answer to how the Christmas wishes came true. Elsie's unlikely friendship with Olivia shows them both that anyone can be an angel to others, but when wishes become prayers, good angels take the truly impossible requests to God, and not into their own hands...
