SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2021:



Here at "It's a Wonderful Movie" we highlight every 25th day of the month - TOGETHER! - as we Countdown to Christmas! You can also join along! This is our last month to do so - because by this time next month in October, Christmas movies will be airing on the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries around the clock!

For all of you Christmas movie fans who wish to participate, simply pick something Christmassy to watch TODAY - on the 25th! It can be a Christmas movie, cartoon, family sitcom or anything you like. (There's only one stipulation - it must be family friendly.) Then, please share in comments below your Christmas choice for the day!

My personal pick to *Mark the 25th* of September is "USS Christmas"... in honor of our wonderful military and how hard they fight for our freedoms! I think they need our support even more these days.



I also thought it would be fun to choose a movie with Jen Lilley - since she's working with GAC Family and their network is launching this upcoming Monday, September 27th!

 
"USS Christmas" Storyline: Maddie (Jen Lilley), a reporter for a Norfolk newspaper, embarks on a Tiger Cruise during Christmastime where she meets a handsome naval officer (Trevor Donovan) and stumbles upon a mystery in the ship’s archive room.

It is there Lindsay discovers the “accountant” is really Crown Prince Aiden who is to ascend the throne after his mother, Queen Rayna.
