This was such a beautiful, sweet movie. This had better come out on DVD and soon. I get annoyed when it takes 2 or three years to bring these gems out to buy! Does anyone know who and how to get a hold of someone to get it put on DVD????
ReplyDeleteI've been searching for a dvd and can't find it either...
DeleteI loved this movie; it had a great cast that were perfect to me and a wonderful German Shepherd; I believe it is one of the best movies I have seen in quite some time; Everthing seemed so realistic, will recommend it to others for sure!
DeleteI really enjoyed this movie..great ending for all!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the name of the song/artist at the end of this movie?
ReplyDeleteWhy are all of the new Christmas movies being repeated this week except for this one??? :(
ReplyDeleteexactly! cannot find it playing again at all!!!
DeleteThis is one wonderful movie I cried sad but happy...Keep these great movies coming!
ReplyDeleteAdd another fan of this movie. I am surprised it is not included with either of the Hallmark Channels. The new movies are very good and enjoyable, but rather than repeating all them so frequently, why not add The Christmas Shepherd, and Matchmaker Santa a few times?
ReplyDeleteHello Barb! Thank you for commenting!
DeleteThe Christmas Shepherd is playing on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries this year. The next airing is Friday November 25 5:00 PM (EST).
And, Matchmaker Santa is on the regular Hallmark Channel. In fact, I'm watching it right now!!! It's next airing is Friday November 25 10:00 AM (est).
Hope you can catch both over the Holiday Season!!! Have a wonderful, Happy Thanksgiving, Barb!!!
Blessings!!! Net :)

ReplyDeleteIt is finally out on DVD on Amazon. $14.99. I just ordered it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this DVD news!
DeleteThe Christmas Shepherd is available through Amazon Prime, everyone... click here for details!
Oh my gosh! One of my most wanted. YAY! I see Debbie Macomber's Dashing Through the Snow is also available now. Holding out hope for Window Wonderland next!
DeleteI was so happy to see that one new on DVD, too, Amy! Andrew Walker and Meghan Ory are just so perfect in it together... plus, it's such a fun story! It's rather nice to see a couple simply fall in love without any other love interest hanging around, you know?
DeleteAs for "Window Wonderland" on DVD... I know just what you mean, Amy! I keep on hoping, as well! :)
Hey, Net, just ordered my DVD's and I found "Magic Stocking", starring Bridget Regan and Victor Webster.....didn't know if you knew or not. I liked this one too!
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you for sharing, Linda! I saw that one just the other day and I have it on my list to add! My to-do list just keeps getting longer! Ahhhhh! Tis the Season!!!
DeleteJust between you & me... (right?) Since Christmas Movies are coming this weekend... the site will have a new Christmassy look - so, I'm busy prepping for that! I love decorating for Christmas!!!
Blessings to you & thanks so much for sharing!!! I just love that one, too! The puppy, gazebo, and, of course, that incredible magic stocking - I so want one of those!!! Don't you? It always knows just what you need! Only in the movies, huh?
Blessings!!! Net :)
You, sweet girl, are a blessing to everyone who is fortunate enough to find this amazing site. How you do it all on your own is truly "divine intervention"!! Your banners, wallpaper and content are so enjoyable I could get lost for hours. Can't wait to see the new Christmas banner...may He give you all the strength you need.....Peace, Net...
DeleteThank you, Linda! Your faithful support and witty, creative comments always mean so much to me! I hold them all so dear!
DeleteBy the way, I added the Magic Stocking DVD to both the new Christmas movies on DVD page and the Hallmark movies from A to Z post!
Thank you for the reminder and always being such a blessing to me!
Blessings back to you! Net :)
