Godwink Christmas Stories: Discover the Most Wondrous Gifts of the Season
It is indeed hard to believe it's Thanksgiving Week already, but I'm sure glad it's here! Three of the movies I was anticipating the most are this weekend: Christmas at Graceland, A Godwink Christmas, and the second Christmas in Evergreen movie! Happy start of Thanksgiving Week and merry Christmas movie viewing, Net! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Amy, for this very sweet message! I hope you thoroughly enjoyed all these new movies over the weekend! There was certainly a lot of great options.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving Week to You, too! :)
Blessings, Net
Thanks for the reminder about Christmas On The Coast! You haven't announced a winner yet, right?
ReplyDeleteMisty
You are so sweet, Misty! I haven't announced the winners, yet... but I did contact two winners, and if/when I hear back from them, I'll be sure to let you know.
DeleteThank you so much for your continued support! You have been such a devoted and good friend here at "It's a Wonderful Movie" for many, many years! :)
Blessings to you! Net
A couple of things, I enjoyed the Lifetime preview show, mainly cause we got to see a preview of EVERY movie, and the little behind the scenes were sprinkled in throughout the hour.
ReplyDelete2nd--Return to Christmas Creek--loved seeing Brian Hackett, Steven Weber again, and this movie was so good. This wasn't a movie that was happy all the way thru, and I enjoyed it mainly because it was about very real issues in life today and how rifts do happen in families and so much time goes by with you spending it being mad, and how the pain is real in families as close as the Hughes were. And then how all that family rift effects the children, the cast did a wonderful job in this movie and I will watch this many times over.
Loved A Godwink Christmas--it was as great as I expected it to be. Will be watching it again with my family on Thanksgiving.
Will watch Evergreen tonight as I wanted so bad to watch this last night but my chores at home trumped that. My husband doesn't care about my Christmas in Evergreen if he doesn't have clean clothes on Monday :) I saw a lot of the tweets going on during Evergreen so I am excited to watch tonight!!!!
Thanks so much, Sabrina! It's always fun to hear how much everyone enjoys the new movies! My schedule was pretty busy over the weekend - as I've been prepping for Thanksgiving and Christmas shopping, so I haven't seen everything, yet... but hopefully soon! My recorder has definitely been working in overdrive! :)
DeleteI'm delighted to hear your positive reviews! Thanks so much, again, for sharing!!! :)
Blessings! Net
Lets just say I am a pretty tired girl at work today, staying up to watch the HMM movies til 11 the past few nights, I hope I make it thru Ryan Paevey's movie tonight live.
DeleteI am so happy the movies will be on HM for wed thurs fri, at least they start an hour earlier. The older I get the more I like to go to bed earlier :)
Happy Thanksgiving to you Net, and all our friends here, everyone please be safe :)
Net, SO MANY movies......between all the networks, there are a lot of them to watch! Last year I was still trying to catch up in January….LOL. I am excited to see some of the Lifetime movies, including a couple I missed last year. Hard to believe it is Thanksgiving week and the holidays are upon us. I know I am going to blink and December will be over and the new year will have begun. I do love the anticipation of this glorious season and everything it represents. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I'm right there with ya, Kerry... except, I think I was still watching in February!!! :)
DeleteIt is definitely hard to believe we are at the point of Thanksgiving week. It's always fun to think we (Christmas fanatics) are celebrating ahead of the rest of the world, and now the rest is ready to join us! After this week, it's going to be even busier, I'm sure!
Happy Thanksgiving Week!!!
Blessings, Net
These all sound like great movies! I was trying to catch hallmark movies, but I've been so busy preparing for Thanksgiving. Hopefully I get to look a few hallmark holiday movies soon! Have a great week, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteSame here, Pilar! I've also been prepping for Thanksgiving... making lists, decorating, grocery runs, etc... Thank goodness I have a recorder to catch all these new Christmas movies. I hope you are also able to relax and enjoy one or two - soon!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving to You, as well!
Blessings, Net
