Graduation Cards
I know. I know. Some people are done with the Christmas movies as soon as the clock strikes midnight, and December 25th is over, but NOT ME!!! I'm one of those people who continues to search for nearly any Christmas movie I can find this week, and frankly, all-year round!
And in case you're wondering, it does appear that the Hallmark Channel will be keeping the special Friday night airings of Christmas movies, beginning on Friday, January 5th, with Flipping for Christmas, starring Ashley Newbrough and Marcus Rosner, who are both also starring in Hallmark's first movie for 2024, on January 6th, Love on the Right Course.
Plus, even more good news... Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will be airing TWO Christmas movies on Thursday nights in January 2024 at 7pm and 9pm EST. I hope this is something they will continue to do throughout the year! (Actually, Thursday, January 4th, will have three Christmas movies with Murder, She Baked: A Plum Pudding Mystery at 5pm, Ms. Christmas Comes to Town at 7pm, and World Record Christmas at 9pm, but the other Thursdays, thus far, will only have two.)
As for this week... between Christmas and New Year's Day, Christmas movies are thankfully continuing to air 24/7 on Great American Family, the Hallmark Channel, and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, and I'm soaking them up like a sponge! Both Freeform and PixL have also sprinkled in a few more Christmas movies. Plus, I love that Great American Family is giving us an end-of-year New Year's Eve Movie Countdown of their best Christmas movies from the past three years! I've been searching through the TV guide and recording all of my new and past Christmas favorites. I kind of feel like a squirrel, hunting and hiding acorns and storing them up for the rest of winter. (haha!)
Due to a family member getting sick on Christmas Eve, we were unable to have our BIG Christmas celebration, so Christmas will be continued and extended for us on another day. (I know some of you are also in the same boat, and I pray your loved ones are feeling better.) It's hard when we remember all of the past Christmases and traditions and long to be together, but we are still going to have our Christmas gathering soon, Good Lord willing!!!
Today, I'm also looking at some of the Christmas deals online at Walmart and Amazon... gift wrap, decor, storage, and supplies. Typically, there are some fantastic sales to find this week. I must admit, I'm a goner when it comes to cute Christmas gift wrap, ornaments, etc... and getting a good deal is always great, too!
The Nativity Jumbo Rolled Gift Wrap by Susan Winget at Walmart has caught my eye, plus this DaySpring - A Cozy Christmas - 4 Reversible Christmas Wrapping Paper Roll Set and Christmas Burlap Wired Ribbon. It's fun to shop for and dream about Christmas next year.
I pray you all are well and had a nice Christmas!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Everyone!
God bless you all, Net

I love that about you Net! You keep Christmas alive all year!😊 I like to watch a Christmas chic at least once a month(happy 25 ;) but when fall comes definitely once a week!! Now I'm in the mood for MYSTERIES!! Which will last till fall....haha ;)
ReplyDeleteChristmas movies are great any time of year - not necessary to stop them - as well as books - I right there!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that I can catch up on a few movies I missed during the season.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing sales info.
For once, I don't have to hit the sales for wrapping paper. I won one of the Hallmark Channel Christmas wrap bundles from a Hallmark blogger after a movie aired. I'm set for a while.
Denise - Congrats on your big win from Hallmark! That's awesome! I hope you received many wonderful designs; Hallmark makes such nice, high quality wrapping paper, and I love that they typically have the grid on the back which makes such a great guideline for cutting.
DeleteBlessings to you! Net
First, hope those in the family that are sick will get well soon.
ReplyDeleteGood news about Christmas movies until New Year’s Day and during the year. I saved all my favorites that will be available until Christmas in July begins. Christmas in July is how many days away?
Sadly, working on labeling and repacking my decorations for 2024. Will have tree up until January 2. 🙁
Yes, Net, carry Christmas in our hearts all the year.
Best to all and a great 2024.

Gabe's Mom, Thank you for the sweet message. My family is all so much better now.
DeleteWe are hoping to have our Christmas gathering soon - so tree is still up and shining brightly!
Blessings to you & yours! Net
I feel the same Net! I am still watching Christmas movies from 2022! I too love the after Christmas paper goods and cards sales! I clicked on the Day spring Wal-Mart link you provided but alas they're already sold out. Oh well. Happy New Year! Barbara
ReplyDeleteBarbara, So sorry the wrapping paper was already sold out. Of course, it was such a great deal and so cute. I hope they do a similar design this upcoming holiday season.
DeleteHope you were able to still find some other wonderful discounts! Blessings in the New Year to you, Net
I'm with you, I've been sick all week and it's a great time to watch all those movies I've recorded! I'll be watching them until I empty my file. Love Christmas movies!
ReplyDeleteNcDesigner, I hope you are feeling better in the new year and enjoying all the Christmas movies you are watching. I still have many Christmas movies recorded to, which is nice since there isn't too much new right now.
DeleteTake care! God bless, Net
I just had the chance to watch A Season For Family. It's family friendly, good chemistry between the leads. It did remind me of the Christmas Note though, where two people find out they are siblings. but overall , a good movie!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, I've been meaning to tell you - that is such a great comparison to The Christmas Note. I hadn't thought of that. Glad you enjoyed this movie, too! It was refreshing to see so many wholesome movies during the '23 holiday season on HMM.
DeleteBlessings to you, honey! Net
Awww Jim, this comment may just be my absolute favorite from all of 2023!!! You clearly touched my heart & brought tears to my eyes. Bless you, my dear friend, for celebrating Christmas all year with me!!! :) Net
