I love the little boy in this. He was so adorable in WCTH this past season. When he was sad, I wanted to crawl thru the TV and give him a big hug. Autumn, David, and he look like a family. this should be a good movie.
ReplyDeleteAwe, that is so sweet, Sabrina! That new teacher was so mean to all the schoolchildren on When Calls the Heart, I felt exactly the same way, especially when he kept breaking Emily's pencil. Horrible. Unfortunately, too many of us have had mean teachers like that.
DeleteOn a bright note, I agree, he does look adorable in this Christmas movie! It is definitely one to look forward to seeing, especially having Autumn Reeser in it, as well! I just loved all the pictures for it! Thank you for sharing, Sabrina!
so excited! the book it's based on was written by my author friend CJ Carmichael

That is so cool! I'm sure we will all love it! I've heard such wonderful things about this story - wonderful praises!!! :)
DeleteSo excited Autumn is back in Hallmark! She was so great in Valentine Ever After and i can't wait for this movie!
ReplyDeleteYes, Autumn Reeser is so great in that, CH! Plus, "Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade" and "A Country Wedding"!!! I'm most excited to see her during the holidays on Hallmark again!!!
DeleteOooh...Net, I love gazebos; all shapes, sizes and colors. I especially love the Christmas one depicted above...so beautiful. Glad to see Autumn back and paired with David!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to watch!! Have already read the book by the wonderful CJ Carmichael!!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the song played at the end of the movie? The lyrics include, "Christmas snow falls on our cold toes and our love grows and this is home..."
ReplyDeleteIt's sung by a female singer.
I'm searching for that one, too. It's really good. Sadly I haven't found it yet.
DeleteFinally found it!
Deletego to apmmusic.com
search "snowfall" with 'track title'
look for "score-0043" #5
It ended up being production music.
It is not downloadable without registration approval.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much!!!! I'd have never found it! You have crazy awesome searching skills!
DeleteThere was another song in that movie as well. By any chance do you know what it's titled?
DeleteMichael, can you be a little more vague.
DeleteAt what time frame and what is the scene?
Are there any lyrics?
I'll see if I can find it.
I will add more when I get home. I have the movie saved on my DirecTV DVR so I will get you an approx. time frame and some lyrics.
DeleteThanks for replying.
Richard, I saved to my DVR from DirecTV. It's at 1:23 and it's when Willa and Mable are sitting down eating cake.
DeleteSome of the lyrics are: if you are a melody. This would be the one I write. Find the perfect harmony and bring it all to life.
That's all they have in the movie.
I'm In Love With You

-same instruction as above.
Thank you very much!!!
DeleteI don't know how you do it, but your querying skills are awesome!!!!
DeleteThanks again.
Happy Holidays to you.
I love this song too! I tried to “Shazam”it. I really would love for them to release it on CD of romantic songs from Hall ark Christmas movies!
DeleteThank you so much for finding Snowfall. Wow! Absolutely love this! Thanks again:)
DeleteBramble House was just lovely! Wonderful and touching storyline. Autumn and David were just fantastic. The little boy was adorable. This movie was just spot on and worth watching again and again. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI agree...it was a very enjoyable movie and the performances were spot on and believable...going to be one my favourites this year😀
ReplyDeleteA Bramble House Christmas is a tearjerker movie. I hope to see Autumn Reeser & David Haydn-Jones together again in the future Hallmark TV movies. I'm watching this movie again. This is what Christmas is about really so important!!!
ReplyDeletePerhaps I was expecting too much but this was the most disappointing Christmas movie date.
ReplyDeleteI found it dull.
Agree. Worst one this year. Horrible acting. But I think it was probably the script.
DeleteThis is the movie I was anticipating the most this year, and I was not disappointed. In fact, it even exceeded my high expectations. As I thought, Autumn Reeser & David Haydn-Jones make a splendid pair, and the story was just beautiful. Wonderful, wonderful movie!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know who sang "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" halfway through the film?
ReplyDeleteI wondered the same thing so I checked the movie credits and it was Martina McBride. Beautiful rendition!
DeleteI love Martina's rendition of Have Yourself a merry little Christmas, as well as Leann Rimes rendition.
DeleteThank you i reckonised the voice but couldn'tthinkof name of singer im watching movie now in England its lovely just what we néed in this terrible covid-19 times
DeleteCan anyone find online the last song sung in the movie, as the camera pans to the portrait of Greg Conrad as a child at Bramble House? I liked it a lot. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI sure wish I knew.
DeleteThis movie was better than I expected it to be! “A Bramble House Christmas” had a solid story, a good cast, and it was well paced! The only problem I had with this movie was the conflict toward the end of the movie happened too quickly. But other than that, it gets an 8 out of 10 from me! :)
ReplyDeleteCan anyone find online the last song sung in the movie, as the camera pans to the portrait of Greg Conrad as a child at Bramble House? I liked it a lot. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWho sings "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" on the soundtrack?
ReplyDeleteMartina McBride, on her “White Christmas” album.
DeleteDisappointed that The Thanksgiving House is not on the TV list at least for Thanksgiving. Wish they would put it on dvd. Really enjoy that movie. My wife's and my favorite new movie, of the three new ones we have seen, is Christmas at Pemberly Manor. RG
ReplyDeleteI noticed that too, RG. Some of the encore showings that were previously listed for "The Thanksgiving House," have been removed.
DeleteHowever, I do see two showings for it on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries:
Wednesday November 14 11:00 AM EST.
Wednesday November 21 9:00 AM EST.
Hope you can catch one of them!
Blessings, Net
I can not stop watching this beautiful and inspiring film! David, Autumn and precious boy are a great family. The whole cast is captivating. Story is about real things - money, family alienation, struggling single mother,illness, hope. I would like to find this book. Also, wouldn't a follow up story be terrific about life in Bramble after Finn and Willa marry and pursue their careers together? And how will Scout adjust? I am so wrapped up in Bramble House. Hallmark's Christmas in July comes just in time to provide joy during a hectic summer.
ReplyDeleteHello Harriet! Thank you so much for sharing how much you love "A Bramble House Christmas!" It is such a meaningful movie, isn't it? It certainly goes deeper than many of the other holiday films.
DeleteAs for the book A Bramble House Christmas, by author C. J. Carmichael, Amazon has it available, if you are able to order online. Here's the link: https://amzn.to/2XDpSn0
Glad you are enjoying Christmas in July this Summer! It is a wonderful time to relax and take in the simple joys of the Holiday Season! :)
Blessings to you! Net
Who sings "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" and "Oh Christmas Tree" in "A Bramble House Christmas" movie?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the name of the song at the end of the movie when Willa and Scout are leaving and stop one last time to look at the Christmas tree?
ReplyDeleteThank you it was a wonderful rendition of the song im watching the movie now in England its lovely just what we néed in these covid19 dark days good stories like this
ReplyDeleteI would like to know the name of the song and/or the artist of the instrumental background music that plays in the scene when Willa and Finn take their little stroll on the wrap-around porch after it starts to snow. It’s so relaxing and beautiful.
