I received a press release yesterday from Lifetime regarding a newly obtained Christmas movie coming to their channel this year. At first, I was excited to learn about a new Christmas movie, but then I was quickly disappointed after reading the plot description.
Please know that I am sharing details of this movie with you all below, not as an endorsement but rather to inform you of its content.
This is the first paragraph of Lifetime's press release, "Lifetime acquires A Carpenter Christmas Romance starring Sasha Pieterse (Pretty Little Liars) and Mitchell Slaggert (The Sex Lives of College Girls) to join the network’s upcoming It’s a Wonderful Lifetime holiday slate. The movie is written and executive produced by Sarah Drew, who also penned A Cowboy Christmas Romance which earned headlines for being a holiday movie with a sex scene and went on to become Lifetime’s highest rated holiday title last year. Drew continues to infuse the holiday steaminess in A Carpenter Christmas Romance, following the story of best-selling author Andrea (Pieterse) who is reunited with her sexy ex-crush Seth (Slaggert), who is working as a carpenter.
A Carpenter Christmas Romance storyline, provided by Lifetime: "When novelist Andrea hints her upcoming book may be taking a heartbreaking turn, her fans begin protesting, demanding their favorite character doesn’t get killed off. Needing a haven where she can finish her novel, Andrea flees to her family’s farmhouse in the town of Wildwood. Much to her surprise, she ends up running into her ex-crush, Seth, an artisanal woodworker who's helping rebuild the town after it was nearly destroyed by a fire. It doesn’t take long for sawdust and sparks of romance fill the air once the two team up and work together to reignite the town's Christmas spirit. Is this romance just a holiday fling that ends when her trip is over? Or can the two build a love that is made to last?"
So, based on the information in the press release, I will not be promoting this movie here. I just wanted to be certain you all were aware of its content.
Stay tuned for more

Agree. None of the movies she's written have been family friendly. ~~Jane
