The card was sent by Faith Spelman ( Alice Evans ). As months pass, the card never leaves his side. Cody, who has no family, and whose father was killed during the Vietnam War, is deeply affected when the soldier who gave him the card is killed. A few weeks before Christmas, Cody travels to see the soldier 's widow, back in Nevada City. Just ase he is about to leave town, Cody runs into Faith at a local luncheonette, where they happened to have placed identical orders. They part, but on his way out of town, Cody saves Faith 's father, Luke ( Ed Asner ), from being hit by a speeding car. Luke takes a liking to Cody and convinces him to stay on as temporary help at his family 's logging company. Paul ( Ben Weber ), Faith 's longtime boyfriend who travels much of the time, and who selfishly wants Faith to move away from her close - knit family in Nevada City, arrives to meet her. Complicating matters, Cody has fallen in love with Faith and despite her attempts to ignore the feeling, they end up sharing a kiss. When Paul unexpectedly asks Faith to marry him, she says yes. Even so, Paul downplays Faith 's wish to stay near her family in the `` boondocks ''. This all comes to a head on Christmas Eve. On the church steps, Cody and Paul meet, and Cody admits that he loves Faith, but accepts that she 's going to marry Paul instead, and hopes that Paul is marrying Faith `` for all the right reasons ''. In church, in spite of the presence of Paul by her side, Faith keeps looking for Cody who has decided to leave. Paul notices and they step out and decide to part ways. Early on Christmas Day, Cody places a Christmas card on the family Christmas tree, which will direct the family to the Christmas present, a wooden bench ( inscribed with `` Where the Magic Begins '' ) that he has been building to mark the family 's favorite spot at a nearby lake where he and Faith first kissed. Cody leaves a Christmas card for Faith with a handwritten note, which she reads aloud. In the note, Cody confesses his love for Faith, and says goodbye. She asks her father whether it was her letter that brought Cody to Nevada City, to which Luke answers : no, you did. In the movie 's final scene, Faith finds Cody at the local Vietnam War veterans ' memorial. She chastises him for not saying goodbye, but before she can complete the sentence he kisses her, and she embraces him.
