This is GRRRRREAT! I'll admit, with my DVD collection getting bigger and bigger, my shelf space is becoming a bit smaller... and smaller; therefore, this is an awesome way to have MORE in a smaller package! I'm absolutely loving the three-in-one idea, and I'm totally eyeing that first one! Truly, I love them all, but "A Joyous Christmas" completely stole my heart last year! Or, maybe... just maybe... Santa plans to put it in my stocking!!! 🎅

Are you interested in one particular DVD collection, as well? If so, please share in comments below!

Thank you to those who click through my links above- a portion will go to this site!


Have a Wonderful Day, Everyone!

SEE the FIRST NEW CHRISTMAS TV MOVIE of the SEASON... HALLMARK CHANNEL'S "CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY MANOR!"


It's the first full weekend of Christmas movies on TV, and of course, Hallmark gifts it's viewers with an all new Christmas movie, "Christmas at Pemberley Manor!"

And, just in case you're wondering, this movie is, indeed, based on the Jane Austen characters from her novel Pride & Prejudice. In fact, in this modern retelling of the story, actress Jessica Lowndes ("The Magical Christmas Ornaments") portrays an enthusiastic version of Elizabeth Bennett, while Michael Rady ("A Joyous Christmas") portrays the charming, wealthy, reserved William Darcy, whose home is well known to Austen readers as the magnificent Pemberley Manor.

*IT'S HALLMARK CHRISTMAS MOVIE EVE!* Let's COUNTDOWN to CHRISTMAS... as we MARK the 25TH!


Our excitement and anticipation for the Christmas season has been building all year! If you follow here regularly, then you already know- we mark each 25th day of the month as we *Countdown to Christmas* together by watching something Christmassy!

On this "Mark the 25th" ... TWO MONTHS 'til CHRISTMAS... it's the eve of Hallmark Christmas movies beginning officially tomorrow on the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries! However, we actually have some Christmas options we can watch on TV tonight!

First, the Hallmark Channel will be replaying both "Hallmark Christmas Preview Specials" hosted by Kellie Pickler and Candace Cameron Bure!

October 25, 2018 - Thursday:

Hallmark Channel "Countdown to Christmas" Preview Special hosted by Kellie Pickler ... Hallmark Channel ... 8 PM

2018 Miracles of Christmas Preview Special hosted by Candace Cameron Bure ... Hallmark Channel ... 9 PM

Murder, She Baked: A Plum Pudding Mystery ... HMM ... 9 PM

Murder, She Baked: A Plum Pudding Mystery

Available on DVD

And, as you see listed above, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is playing on October 25th - the Christmas themed "Murder, She Baked" movie... "Murder, She Baked: A Plum Pudding Mystery," starring Alison Sweeney, Cameron Mathison, Gabriel Hogan, Barbara Niven, and Lisa Durupt! This is such a great holiday mystery movie! (I sure wish they would do more of their regular Hallmark mysteries during the holidays, like they did with this "MSB" movie and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered: For Christmas!")

Also, in the Christmas Preview Specials... Kellie Pickler will highlight various Christmas movies coming this Holiday season to the Hallmark Channel, and Candace Cameron Bure does the same with Hallmark Movies & Mysteries! It's a delightful taste of the feast to come!

So... there are some great choices to get you into the festive spirit on the 25th! You can choose those and/or something else too!

For me personally... I'm watching the Christmas preview specials (missed Kellie Pickler during our power outage over the weekend!), and I'm hoping to play another Christmas movie from my DVD collection. My first thought was "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!" The title alone seems ideal for this day... plus, I love that movie so much, but it's going to be on TV rather soon, October 27th at 12 midnight on the Hallmark Channel! Therefore, I have decided to wait for that one and hopefully stay up to watch some of it! Back to the drawing board... so to speak!

The movie I decided upon to "Mark the 25th" as we Countdown to Christmas is... (drumroll please!)

"A Season for Miracles"

"A Season for Miracles" - image via Hallmark Crown Media
Available on DVD

The title, "A Season for Miracles," instantly struck a chord in my heart, and since this cherished, instant classic Hallmark Hall of Fame movie is no longer played on either Hallmark channel during the holidays, I figured it would be refreshing to see it once again. I also felt inspired by Hallmark Movies & Mysteries new 2018 tag line, "Miracles of Christmas."

When Emily and her niece and nephew in "A Season for Miracles" find themselves on the run, they discover the love and care of strangers in a small town called Bethlehem and the divine intervention of an Angel!

Please share what you're watching to "Mark the 25th" below! Happy Eve of Hallmark Christmas movies beginning tomorrow! Be sure to check the Christmas TV Schedule for all your holiday movie favorites!

Joyous Blessings to you all!
I pray it's "A Season for Miracles!" Net

Christmas is Coming!!!
