I saw Jessy Schram will be in this and I am ecstatic. I just love her in Harvest Moon and Birthday Wish and Sam Page X 2 for Christmas season!!!!!!!!!! Whooo Hoooo!!!!!!
DeleteYes, what a cute pairing! Just from the casting alone - this sounds like it will be extra good! Both Jessy and Sam radiate with such fun personality!!! :)
DeleteMore Sam Page - an early Christmas present!
ReplyDeleteWell, that's a perfect thing to say since Sam Page's first movie is "The Perfect Christmas Present"!
DeleteI was so into the NEW movies this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI thought Marry Me at Christmas was wonderful.
The story line kept me engaged.
I also the two movies that were Christmas in July productions.
I enjoyed the Christmas Cure --new actors in the Hallmark Family and fun story
Home For Christmas day was excellent--acting and plot.
I experienced every emotion while watching the film.
I am so looking forward to four new flicks every weekend--it is going to be the best!
So glad to hear how much you enjoyed everything! It absolutely was such a wonderful weekend of Christmas movies! I found myself completely engrossed in movies I have seen countless times already before! Hallmark always draws us in with their lighthearted humor and engaging heartfelt stories!
DeleteThank you for sharing! Blessings! Net :)
Marry Me At Christmas was a ton of fun!
ReplyDeleteMisty
Glad you loved it, Misty! It truly was such a fun one to start it off the Hallmark Christmas Movie Season!
DeleteBlessings! Net :)
Pinch Me...it's finally here!!!!! I can't believe it! I sang your poem and Oh what fun it was...So Cute!
ReplyDeleteI put my own Christmas music on and of course I always have to play Matthew West's Come On Christmas. That song describes me to a T and always is a great way to start the season.
Also got my tree up and lit and it is beginning to like a lot like Christmas at my house!!!! I just love it!
Thank you Net, your site is like a Christmas gift that I can't wait to open and see what you have for us...keep it coming!!!
Merry Christmas Viewing too! (Thank you Linda, for sharing that cute quote...I loved it!)
I'm with you, Net...It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!!
NK
Oh, I know that song, too! It's such a good one!
DeleteI just looked up the lyrics, which are so fun! Here's the chorus everybody...
"Come on, Christmas
I don’t know why you’re taking so long, Christmas
Well, I’ve been waiting all year for you to get here
And I can’t take another second, can’t you hear me beggin’
Hurry up, Santa Claus
Here’s my number just in case your reindeer get lost
I sure wouldn’t mind, if you’re early this time
So, come on, come on, come on, Christmas
Come on, Christmas"
If anyone would like to hear it, Amazon has it available to download here:

The song "The Heart of Christmas" is also beautiful. It's from the UP movie, of the same name, with Candace Cameron Bure!
Thank you for sharing!
Many blessings!!! Net

ReplyDeleteSugarplum Way by Debbie Mason
Baby, It's Christmas by Susan Mallery
Oh my, I love this reply so much, I LOVE the Debbie Mason books, I am currently relistening to the Christmas Colorado series and just got Sugarplum Way on my tablet. The Harmoney Harbor series has been awesome. I would love to see these in movies on Hallmark, of course they would have to tone down some of the love scenes, but the stories are so romantic :)
DeleteI'd like to see Taylor Cole & Paul Greene do Hallmark Christmas movie(s) in the future
