Hope you find something you would like to see this Christmas! Last year CBS premiered 2 NEW Christmas movies, A Christmas Proposal and Christmas Takes Flight. I want to inform you, the movie, A Christmas Proposal, has a gay character. I didn't catch Christmas Takes Flight last year, but our It's a Wonderful Movie friend, Maria, shared this review:
π"Christmas takes Flight (CBS) After what happened with A Christmas Proposal, I was a bit skeptical about this one. But this one turned out to be really good!! This movie is fun, adorable, and best of all: family friendly! I definitely recommend this one." -Maria
