❤ THE HEART OF CHRISTMAS REMAINS WITH US THIS EASTER WEEK!

What an unusual time this is in our world. I know many have been doing some soul-searching and looking for ways to avoid the overwhelming news with this pandemic.

If your heart is needing a little more or a lot more Christmas this week, then you'll love this Hallmark Christmas movie treat!

I believe the spirit of Christmas brings comfort because it centers around the joy of the birth of our Savior, Jesus. On this Holy Easter Week we are reminded of the cross and the incredible significance of Christ's sacrifice for our sins, if we only put our faith in Him and welcome Jesus in to our hearts.

Simply hearing the beloved Christmas carols, such as: Silent Night, Joy to the World, and O Holy Night in the background of one of my favorite Christmas movies, always brings peace to my heart and reminds me of how special it is to be home, surrounded by my loved ones at Christmastime!

Speaking of being home for Christmas, the Christmas movies featured this week - lead off with the re-airing of this year's "Merry Madness" bracket winner: "When Calls the Heart: Home for Christmas" on Hallmark Drama! Then, it's "A Blue Ridge Mountain Christmas" on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries on Thursday and then on FRIDAY, get ready... because the Hallmark Channel will have binge-worthy Christmas movies ALL DAY! See the movies listed below!

UPDATE: It appears there will not be a Christmas movie marathon, after all, on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, but thankfully, we can still enjoy the one Friday on the Hallmark Channel.

Happy Birthday
to Hallmark's Movie Darling...

Candace Cameron Bure!

We so enjoy your Hallmark movies... whether it's a new Aurora Mystery ("Reap What You Sew: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery" is coming April 15th!) or a new Hallmark Christmas Movie... we feel right at home when watching you! Thank you for lighting up our screens with your sweet spirit!

We all receive a gift today on Candace's birthday... a Merry Madness Movie Marathon that ends with Candace's latest Hallmark Channel Christmas movie "Switched for Christmas"!

Unfortunately, inspite of "When Calls the Heart: The Christmas Wishing Tree" movie winning Hallmark's Merry Madness bracket challenge, it will not be airing during the marathon, as was initially announced. I understand the disappointment of Hallmark fans and Hearties, who were eagerly anticipating this re-airing. Thankfully, the WCTH Christmas movie is available on DVD and through on-line streaming.

"When Calls The Heart: The Heart of Homecoming" on DVD

(A.K.A.: "When Calls the Heart: The Christmas Wishing Tree")

For the Christmas movie marathon today
the Hallmark Channel will be playing...

"A Very Merry Mix Up" ... 2pm/1c.

Click here for DVD / Streaming

"A Royal Christmas" ... 4pm/3c.

Click here for DVD / Streaming

"A December Bride" ... 6pm/5c.

Click here for DVD / Streaming

and "Switched for Christmas" ... 8pm/7c.

Switched for Christmas is not available, yet, on DVD
Click here to see Candace's other Christmas movies on DVD / Streaming

I must say it is rather interesting that after they decided not to re-air the WCTH Christmas movie, they replaced it with titles like: "A Very Merry Mix-up" and "Switched for Christmas"! How ironic and appropriate!

I do hope all of you who love Christmas movies enjoy this Christmas Movie marathon on the Hallmark Channel today! May it hold you over until Christmas in July comes our way this Summer!

Hallmark recently announced- Hallmark Channel’s Keepsake Christmas Week will run from July 6, 2018 until July 15, 2018. Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Gold Crown Christmas programming block will air from June 29, 2018 to July 8, 2018! Please note: It is possible these dates may change, and at this time, no new Christmas movies are currently planned for July. However, Hallmark officially announced 22 New Christmas Movies will be coming on the Hallmark Channel and 12 New Christmas Movies will be coming on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries ... for the 2018 Christmas Season!!!

With another snowfall coming this weekend in the Midwest... instead of Spring... it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas... all over again!!!

Merry Christmas in April, Everyone!!! Net
