So what can we glean from the information we were given during this one hour Christmas preview special? Well... it looks like the Hallmark Channel is definitely bringing us a Thanksgiving week filled once again with Christmas movies, which has become a very popular, highly rated programming event every year. Also, it was confirmed that "A Christmas Love Story" would earn the crown jewel, as Crown Media's Hallmark Hall of Fame production, which now traditionally airs the Saturday after Thanksgiving. In the meantime, Hallmark's Christmas queen, Candace Cameron Bure, will once again have her Christmas movie complete Thanksgiving week on Sunday night, with "Christmas Town."
Two of the movies also had new titles. "A Family Under the Christmas Tree" has been renamed "Picture a Perfect Christmas," while "Five Cards for Christmas" has been renamed "Write Before Christmas." I'm not usually into changing titles, but in this case, I really like the upgraded versions. They both seem to suit the unique originality of the stories.
Most of all... in this Christmas Preview special, Lacey Chabert shared with us her spirited enthusiasm, great joy and vibrant hope for this upcoming Christmas season... and I know we all can't wait for it! Until then, may we enjoy the simple pleasures of this day, until it leads to the next!
Joyous Blessings! Net
