Everybody ready for the weekend? It's incredible to think it's already the end of January, isn't it? Here where we live in the Midwest we are anticipating potentially receiving up to 8 inches of snow this weekend, so it's the ideal time for us to stay in, keep cozy and watch the "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" marathon all day on Saturday, plus, that night, it's the last New Year, New Movie with Hallmark's movie approriately named "Snowkissed," and we'll finish off with a little dessert on Sunday night, with UPtv's new premiere, "Love is a Piece of Cake." Are you expecting snow, too, this weekend or do you live in a warm winter climate? Please be sure to share in comments below!

The story in "A Glenbrooke Christmas" about the town coming together in their effort to hopefully get the Church bells 🔔 ringing again - was truly beautiful. I hope you enjoy this movie and other classics airing this week! See details below...

Hope you enjoy the Christmas movies airing this week. "Finding a Family" isn't very Christmassy, but there is some Christmas in it; plus, it's a very touching story. (Please note: I don't recommend this movie for young children because the mother has addiction issues.) It is based on a true story.

I'm hoping I'll be able to catch a few of these, especially "A Glenbrooke Christmas" and "Snow Bride." Since "Finding a Family" airs at 7am on Saturday morning, I think I'll sleep in and record that one!

Remembering Actress Cloris Leachman...

Sadly, legendary film and TV actress, Cloris Leachman, passed away on January 27, 2021. She was born on April 30, 1926 and lived to be 94 years old. Cloris will be fondly remembered for a variety of roles, including "The Beverly Hillbillies," "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "The Facts of Life" and more... Plus, she had multiple guest star roles on many shows, such as: "Gunsmoke," "Lassie," The Donna Reed Show," "The Love Boat," "Perry Mason," "Diagnosis Murder," "Touched by an Angel," "Promised Land" and so on...

Cloris Leachman had an extensive career in film and on TV, and it's no wonder - with her spunky, vibrant personality and dramatic flair, Cloris fit into any character, whether it was the den Mother on "Facts of Life," the cranky, recluse woman in "Prancer," the peppy, high-spirited Granny in "The Beverly Hillbillies," or even the inspirational grandmother in "I Can Only Imagine." Cloris could play all of these roles perfectly.

Hallmark fans may also recall Cloris Leachman had a role in one of the Christian based, "Love Comes Softly" pioneer era movies, "Love Takes Wing," which aired on the Hallmark Channel in 2009. Cloris played the role of Miss Hattie and helped Dr. Belinda Simpson overcome her grief and reach out to the sick orphaned children, who were in desperate need.

While I loved Cloris in so many roles, I will personally remember her best from two of her family Christmas movies. The first one is "A Little Piece of Heaven," with Lacey Chabert and Kirk Cameron, from 1991. This sweet little movie is one that always touches the heart; I sure wish they would air it on TV again. I've had it on DVD for years, and I'm so glad to see Amazon still offers it.

The second Christmas movie that Cloris Leachman has a role in that is always a must see for me each Christmas, is Prancer! To say I absolutely love this movie is an understatement. It brings me such joy to see the little girl, Jessica, reach out to show love and kindness to Cloris' character, Mrs. McFarland, who lives all alone and is forgotten by everyone else in town. It is such a beautiful scene when Mrs. McFarland comes to church during a Christmas candlelight service. I typically become a bit misty-eyed at this point. There is so much more to this movie then just believing in Santa Claus, it's about overcoming loss and restoring one's faith and Cloris' character is key to that discovery.

Please share which show or movie you enjoyed with Cloris Leachman in comments below.

Sending our love and prayers

to her dear family and friends.
