🎠Get Swept Up in 7 NEW Christmas TV MoviesπŸŽ„ - the Last Weekend Before Christmas!!! πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰



It's hard to believe THIS WEEKEND is officially the VERY LAST ONE before CHRISTMAS!!! It seems this year, in 2020, time often stood still with all of life's uncertainties and Christmas, the idealistic day of peace of harmony, often felt like a million miles away - and now HERE IT IS... Almost! My greatest wish is that everyone will feel loved this Christmas, that we enjoy the simple things, and we each spread the true JOY and LOVE of Christmas!

I live in the heartland of the Midwest, where we had around 3 inches of snow fall this week. It was our first real snow of the season; and oh my, it was breathtaking! There's nothing quite like a white Christmas! Although, it will surely all melt by Christmas next week, I'm enjoying looking out my window now- it just feels Christmassy, like living in a snow globe!

This weekend I'm going to be extra busy wrapping gifts and catching some of the NEW Christmas movies and some old ones, too. I'm hoping there will be lots of good ones to enjoy from Friday to Sunday! I'm most looking forward to these new movies: Christmas on the Menu, A Christmas Carousel, Cross Country Christmas and Project Christmas Wish! (Hopefully, they will all be family friendly!) Please share which ones you're looking forward to - in comments below!

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

On this fourth weekend of advent, as we in our final days of preparation for Christmas, we fix our hearts upon the “Lord of Peace,” who came to earth over 2000 years ago as a baby.

"The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. 
We have seen His Glory, the Glory of the One and only Son, 
who came from the Father, full of Grace and Truth." 

(John 1:14)

    1. Loved it! I laughed out loud in several places at some of Rachael Leigh Cook's lines. She is good with any male lead so far that I've seen.

      Re-watching it, I discovered Greyston Holt's character has a sense of humor. I missed a couple of his good retorts at my first viewing. He commented about the "500 count hay" as they were gathering hay in the cattle car for their beds. The writers were great.

    2. Yes, indeed, there were some witty lines but there was too much "I know best" talk from the Lina character, which might have mellowed during her character arc. However, my watching came to a full stop when the nativity scene became a laughingstock and especially after the dog was declared a stand-in for baby Jesus.

  7. I'm most looking forward to "A Christmas Carousel." I always enjoy the royal movies, no matter how many times that storyline has been done before. Rachel Boston is one of my favorites, and I'm looking forward to seeing Neal Bledsoe again. I loved him in "Coming Home for Christmas" in 2017.

    1. "A Christmas Carousel" was every bit as delightful as I hoped it would be. I wanted to watch it again immediately! Neal Bledsoe was perfect as the prince, as I expected he would be. He put a lot of emotion into his performance and had me choked up more than once. I thought he and Rachel were well matched. It was completely family friendly as well. Definitely one for the keeper pile!

    A Christmas Carousel was SO Cute I loved it.

    That carousel is beautiful! It looks real. Where is it located? It should be a Hallmark Christmas music box.

    Lila and her dad are hired by the European country of Ancadia to restore an old carousel Niche business. She falls in love with the Prince

    Lila and Prince Whitaker kissing on the restored carousel is the perfect way to close out

    WOW. Looks like both Lila and her father have found love - whittaker even made a wish on the carousel for her to return. How sweet.

  18. I watched Christmas on the Menu and it was......FANTASTIC!!!!

    I loved it so much. It was very family friendly. Kim Shaw is so wonderful, I mean I adore her after this movie. And I was so happy to get Cynthia Gibb as her mother, she is a fantastic actress and I wish Hallmark got her more. Maybe that would help their movies be better but I doubt it.

    It was just such a great movie, such sweet moments between mother and daughter, and daughter and her food critic. I mean this was the most natural chemistry I have seen in a long time.

    Katrina Norman plays Pepper, I think she is the editor of Tanner's critiques and who is Josie love interest, and she is a wonderful actress, she was on the movie Home By spring, I loved her then. This movie had so much I love in a movie, the 2 leads who have great chemistry and are not thrown together in a stupid way, wonderful family dynamic, and a woman who ends up being the odd woman out, and is a little mischievous, but not terrible.

    I really haven't loved a Lifetime movie like this, a premiere Lifetime movie since Snowed Inn, I think Christmas on the Menu will be my movie this year, the best I have watched, and a movie I want to watch over and over.

    1. I agree with you, Sabrina. I was so happy to see Clayton James as a male lead. I DVRd it because I like him and Kim Shaw. I've only ever seen him act in WCTH as Kevin Townsend and this movie.

  19. I think I made a typo on y review of Christmas on the menu, when I was talking about the character Pepper, she is Tanner (Josie's love interest) editor. I think I put and she is Josie's love interest but she is NOT!!!! I was meaning she was Tanner's editor who is Josie love interest. No Same Sex stories in this movie.

  20. I watched Lonestar Christmas and it was AWESOME. I appreciated that there was no snow, I live in Florida and we don't have snow so I enjoyed a movie not covered in fake snow. I loved Stephanie Bennett in a lead role, it was very family friendly, loved the kids. a very good movie. almost all of my favorite movies this year were on Lifetime.

  21. Christmas at Rosemont was quite fascinating. Not something I'd recommend to young folks, but it's still a fascinating movie. -Maria
