🎃 FALL HARVEST, 🎥 NEW MOVIES and an IRRESISTIBLE ENCORE - this Weekend on TV!

Are Y'all ready for Fall?

Here in the Midwest our temps have dropped down in the upper 40's - 50's at night! Brrrr! I've been grabbing for an extra blankie lately - so, ready or not, Summer is rapidly slipping away and Fall is on the way! (Are you getting chillier weather, too?) My heart certainly goes out to everyone who has been affected lately by the destructive hurricanes and storms in the South. Please be safe, everyone, and take care... 


The first day of Autumn is technically next Tuesday, September 22nd, but leave it to the Hallmark Channel to jump in early with their first Fall Harvest movie premiering this weekend!

CHRISTMAS MOVIE NEWS:

In case you missed it, Lifetime released their full 2020 Christmas movie slate this week. SEE HERE.

Please know, I will NOT be promoting every Lifetime Christmas film. Unfortunately, with some exceptions, it will be difficult to know which movies are family-friendly, but I will be sharing here throughout the Christmas season if I learn of any movie of concern - and I absolutely appreciate those of you who take time to share information, too!

First off, I will NOT be promoting the Lifetime movie, "The Christmas Set Up," because the main storyline is a same sex romance. I wanted to be sure to warn you all of this right away and let you know this movie is featured in the new Lifetime Christmas movie promo. Most likely this commercial will run this Christmas season on the Lifetime network. Please beware of this if you decide to turn there.

One movie that looks good to me, so far, is a new Lifetime Military Christmas movie titled "A Welcome Home Christmas." It appears to have lots of promise. The movie stars Jana Kramer ("Christmas in Mississippi," "Love at First Bark") and Brandon Quinn ("Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses"), plus the movie co-stars Tim Reid, Charlene Tilton, and country singer, Craig Morgan. To see more on this movie and more Christmas movies coming to Lifetime this Christmas season - CLICK HERE.

🍂🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍂

I hope you all have a pleasant last weekend of Summer, and maybe, enjoy a movie or two!

I'm looking forward to the new Fall Harvest movie this weekend and both of the Christmas Sneak Peeks, plus the UPtv movie premiere!

*Please Note: I have not pre-screened these new movies, but based on the previews we've been given, thus far, I am anticipating they will be family-friendly. Let's hope so! 

Have a nice weekend, everyone...

Blessings, Net

SHARING HIS LOVE:
