I'm always so grateful for this special patriotic holiday to pause and reflect on the enormous sacrifices made by our military and their families, on our behalf, for our freedom today. May you all have a restful and peaceful Memorial Day, as we remember and honor our fallen soldiers.

"Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."

Movie Reviews:

πŸ’₯An anonymous reviewer at Amazon states that this is a "clean movie," and further says, "Love this movie. Good hearted. It is hard to find a movie today that is not vulgar."

πŸ’₯Dayna A. Ferro also shared this review at Amazon: "AWESOME Movie! I received this movie early today (April 11th, 2023) and boy let me tell you I loved it! A lot of action. Tom Wopat is absolutely AMAZING in it. It wasn’t boring at all for me. Love seeing the same group since the first movie. I didn’t realize that Scooter was Tara’s dad from The Walking Dead. Great seeing Donnie (now Don) Most in it. As Casper Van Dien said, “A modern day Western” I recommend this movie to all. Now I’m heading back to the first movie and binge all three!"

πŸ’₯Another reviewer at Amazon called SnoozeBob shares: "Very enjoyable movie... Good old fashioned action/drama. Only regret is we didn't know about the other two previous sequels/prequels (County Line and County Line, All In)... But that's an easy fix, they're both also on Amazon!"

As we mark 7 months 'til Christmas on May 25th with Memorial Day coming up this weekend, I thought it would be a nice time to pay tribute to the many Christmas-themed patriotic movies that have aired on Hallmark throughout the years.

So, for this Christmas Movie Challenge on the 25th-

Please share your Christmas Movie answers in the comment section below. I'm going to give everyone the Memorial Day weekend (until noon, Tuesday, May 30th) to respond before I submit the comments and correct answers. So, please know you won't see your Christmas movie answers show up in the comments below until next Tuesday.

If you'd like to share a Christmas movie you plan to watch on the 25th to celebrate 7 Months 'til Christmas, or if you'd like to comment on anything else besides the game, then please share your thoughts in a separate comment from your answers, so I can go ahead and post those remarks.

My personal Christmas movie pick to mark the 25th is "USS Christmas," starring Jen Lilley and Trevor Donovan! Abigail (a dear friend and follower here) mentioned she might watch this movie last month, and since she shared that, I've been wanting to rewatch it again myself. Since this film has such a strong military theme, I think this will a great time to finally rewatch this patriotic Christmas movie just before Memorial Day. Plus, it doesn't hurt that it has two of my favorite stars!

If you're also curious about Jen Lilley and Trevor Donovan's upcoming NEW 2023 Christmas movies for Great American Family, you can see details here & here!


Have a Merry Day!

Can You Guess Jen Lilley's Christmas Movie Co-Star? *UPDATE #5* Have YOU solved this Mystery?



As Jen Lilley is in the process of practicing dance in Bucharest, Romania for her upcoming Christmas movie, Paris Christmas Waltz, she is promising her fans that while they are practicing she is going to give little hints as to who her co-star is.

Jen Lilley's first Co-Star hint is...

Her co-star has never been in a Great American Family or Hallmark movie.

Jen also mentioned he is super nice and... she said he was hitting the gym and dancing for several hours, so this guy must really be into fitness.

She said her second hint was a big deal, but she didn't reveal it, yet. Stay tuned!

Who might this mystery co-star be? At this time, some guesses are swirling through my mind, but I'm just not sure, yet. Do you have any thoughts on it or guesses? Could it be someone who has been on Dancing with the Stars?

Let me know your thoughts in comments below.


Blessings, Net




UPDATE - CLUE #2: On May 24th, Jen Lilley shared Clue #2 - on who her co-star is while taking a break from dancing. At the time, her co-star was out of the camera shot.

Jen asks in a fun, playful way... "have you seen him dance?" And she responds with, "I have... you've really seen him!" And then, she gives an adorable wide-eyed expression towards the camera to emphasize the importance of what she just said.

If you have any guesses, please share in comments below!




UPDATE - CLUE #3: On May 25th, Jen Lilley shared Clue #3 with her film directors, Michael and Janeen Damian... Jen's co-star has something in common with Michael Damian, other than his great hair. Michael goes on to say... he is better looking, a better singer, better actor, etc... but Jen stops him before he reveals too much!

Hmmm??? Who could it be? What similarity does he have with Michael Damian? Does he sing professionally? Or, has he been on a Soap Opera? There are sooo many possibilities!

Do you have any ideas??? Please share in comments below!




Also, this is kind of silly, but fun... I happened to notice as Jen was turning her phone around, just before she included the Damians in her shot (seen above), there's a glimpse of a man in the background wearing all black. I've included a screen-grab above - so you all can see it. Could that be him? Or, possibly a dance instructor? Who knows for sure, but I thought it was interesting and wanted to share, just in case. The mystery continues!!!

UPDATE: (May 27th) Michael Damian said the image I have above of the man in black in the background is NOT Jen's co-star either. Michael responded to me: "That’s a good detective screenshot!!! (he included the detective emoji) …..but that’s our amazing Choreographer Pasha Kovalev."




UPDATE - CLUE #4: On Friday, May 26th, Jen Lilley, along with her director, Janeen Damian, shared two more clues.

Like Michael Damian, the mystery co-star has been on broadway and they (Michael Damian and Jen's co-star) have one similar initial.

Hmmm??? I think you've all solved this!!!




Here's also a screen grab of Jen Lilley from Friday, May 26th, with her co-star standing behind her playing the hands improv game titled "Helping Hands." Basically, if you've never heard of it, a person stands with their arms clasped behind their backs and another person stands behind them and threads their arms through the “holes” on either side, then they perform an act, with the person in front doing all of the talking, while their “helping hands” does all of the gesturing. It can be really fun and silly.

You can see in the image the man's hands and arms, and I only caught a hint of his dark hair from time to time. I tried to capture it, but the brief tilts of their heads were so quick, even with using pause, it was hard to get.

Anyway, I think many of you may be completely right with your guess of Mark Ballas, who was a professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars, performed on Broadway in Jersey Boys, and of course, he shares an initial with Michael Damian. It must be him!

*UPDATE: It's NOT Mark Ballas! See update below...




UPDATE - CLUE #5:: IT'S NOT HIM!

JEN LILLEY'S CO-STAR IS NOT MARK BALLAS!!!

On Friday, May 26th, I shared our link to our guess on Twitter and I tagged Michael Damian and Jen Lilley. Michael responded on May 27th and said Jen's co-star is NOT Mark Ballas.

Wow! Right? All of the clues pointed to him.

Someone else guessed Derek Hough, and while Michael said it wasn't him either, he might have given us a little clue and said... "That’s a very good guess getting close…..???"

Plus, Michael Damian said the image I have above of the man in black in the background is NOT Jen's co-star either. Michael responded to me: "That’s a good detective screenshot!!! (he included the detective emoji) …..but that’s our amazing Choreographer Pasha Kovalev."

So... we are back to square one! I wanted you all to know - the mystery continues!!!



Some guesses I've seen on-line:

Mario Lopez

He was on DWTS, performed on Broadway in Chorus Line, and he shares an initial with Michael Damian and has dark hair

However, I checked his socials and he's on vacation with his family right now in Mexico... so it can't be him!


Matthew Morrison

He was on Broadway in Footloose, Hair Spray, etc... and of course, he & Michael Damian share an initial... so maybe???

Do YOU ALL have any more guesses???
