How to Download *Great American Family's* All-New 🎄Christmas Checklist App🎄

Great News! You can now create your own Great American Family Christmas movie list on your phone with the all-new "GFAM Christmas Checklist" app!

Great American Media announced this news today across their social media platforms. I immediately downloaded this new user-friendly app to my iPhone. In addition to adding movies to your watchlist, you can read movie synopsizes, get cast bios, write reviews, etc...

Great American Family provided these details on how to download this new app to your phone on Facebook:

You've been asking, and we listened! Updates and refinements to come, but YOU can get started NOW on the "GFAM Christmas Checklist" app!!!

Download Here, type exactly as shown:
🎄 Apple App Store:
Must search GFAM Christmas Checklist

🎄 Android App Store:
“GFAM Christmas Checklist”
All Christmas movies from 2021 – current


I'm still in the process of checking it out and creating my watchlist, but I think it looks great. The picture above is an image of my phone screen. When the app opened up, it first featured for me "A Christmas... Present," starring Candace Cameron Bure and Marc Blucas. From there, you can choose any movie you like from 2021 to 2023.

I would love to know your thoughts on Great American Family's new app in comments below.

🎄 Merry Christmas, dear Friends! 🎄 My Christmas Card to You...

What a Wonderful Christmas Season and Year it has been,

once again,

at "It's a Wonderful Movie"!

It's always a joy to reminiscence with dear friends,

who often visit and share,

and meet new ones, as well,

who I've added to my prayers.

I hope many of you have enjoyed

building special friendships here

and watching some delightful New Christmas Movies

and lots of beloved Christmas classics - all year!

I appreciate each and every one who visits...

all the comments, thoughts and wonderful movie reviews!

Here's my Christmas Card to All of You...

"And she shall bring forth a Son,

and thou shalt call His name JESUS:

for He shall save His people from their sins. "

~Matthew 1:21

When I think of Christmas, I think of the glowing lights, the cherished gifts, the holy star, angels on high, pure white snow, the excitement of little ones and so many lovely things!

All of these Christmas treasures tie in to the Holy birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who came as a tiny little baby that first Christmas to save us from our sins.

On that first Christmas night when the star shown bright and the angels sang, Jesus was that first Light, the Light of the World. If we receive Him, then we, too, come out of the darkness and into the Light.

The Greatest Gift of all was given in a stable on that first Christmas. Love!

In order to receive Jesus, all we have to do is ask Him to come into our hearts and forgive us of our sins. 

Then He washes us white as snow!

Traditionally, again this Christmas, I will be spending the day with my family. I love when everyone comes home! Before any gifts are unwrapped, my Father reads the Christmas story from Luke 2 in the Bible, and everyone listens intently as we think upon that first Christmas long, long ago. Jesus is always the first gift we receive Christmas morning. Then, we take turns unwrapping gifts from under the tree... appreciating the time together, the presents given, and enjoying the moment. Also, in my heart... I'll be remembering Christmases past and treasuring all of the precious memories - in the midst of making new ones!

If you're looking for more Christmas programming, old and new, then be sure to visit the Christmas Schedule, which includes the new Lifetime Christmas movies premiering this week, GAC Family's Christmas Day movie marathon, plus It's a Wonderful Life (a cherished favorite!), 'Twas the Night Before Christmas (the endearing classic cartoon!), Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers (tells the true meaning of Christmas - Jesus!), and more beloved, can't miss Christmas classics: Home Alone, Meet Me in St. Louis, and White Christmas!

Also, see the Christmas Movie Review page - to see which NEW Christmas movies from 2021 are family friendly.

God's Blessings to You

during this Holy Christmas Season!

Thank you for being a special part of the

*It's a Wonderful Movie* family!

Be sure to stay tuned for more news on Family TV Movies

and Christmas Movies throughout the Year in 2022!

Wishing You much Love and Joy

this Christmas!

God Bless Us, Everyone!

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Glory to the newborn King!

From my home to yours...

Merry Christmas to You All! Net

Luke 2:8-14

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

******************

Watch the NEW "Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers" on TV!

First, if you are not familiar with The Chosen, it is a drama series based on the life of Jesus of Nazareth, created, directed and co-written by American filmmaker Dallas Jenkins. The Chosen is "an exploration of the life of Jesus Christ through the perspective of those that interacted with him." It all began with one episode titled The Shepherd in 2017, which tells the amazing story of the birth of Jesus from a shepherd's point of view. The Chosen series developed from there and many more episodes later, it has become overwhelming popular through streaming sources, etc...

You can see The Shepherd this Christmas on TV on the TCT Channel on Thursday, December 23, 2021 at 7:05pm/6:05c and Saturday, December 25, 2021 at 1:38pm/12:38c.

Also, this Christmas, a new episode titled: Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers was first released in theaters breaking box office records. You can see current theater and ticket details through Fanthom Events.

Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers is 2 hours long featuring musical performances from various artists and groups including Phil Wickham, for KING & COUNTRY, Cain, We The Kingdom, Matt Maher, Dawson Hollow and many more. Along with the musical performances there is a new episode of The Chosen which is 40-minutes long and follows the events surrounding the birth of Jesus from the perspective of Mary and Joseph.

If you can't make it to the theater or simply prefer to watch from home, then I have good news for you! You can see special airings of Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers on TV!

The full two-hour film that played in theaters, including the new 40-min. episode of The Chosen and 80 minutes of musical performances, will air first on BYUtv on:
Sunday December 19, 2021 at 3 pm ET/ 12 pm PT.

The 40-min. episode of The Chosen will be repeated at the following dates/times on BYUtv:
Thurs. Dec. 23: 8 pm ET/5 pm PT, 11 pm ET/8 pm PT;
Fri. Dec. 24: 12 pm ET/9 am PT, 12 am ET (Sat.)/9 pm PT;
Sat. Dec. 25: 1 pm ET/10 am PT.
(Dates and times according to rexburgstandardjournal.com)

In addition to BYUtv, you can also see Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers on UPtv! The full 2 hours will air on Christmas Eve,
Friday, December 24, 2021 at 7pm/6c, with these extra encore times:
Saturday, December 25, 2021 at 1am/12c, 7am/6c, and 11pm/10c.

The TBN network is also playing The Chosen Christmas Special on Wednesday December 22 at 9pm/8c. and Christmas day, Saturday December 25 at 2pm/1c. (Please note: So far, their schedule does not say if this is the new special or last years.)

I think it is very interesting with all the numerous new Christmas movies airing on TV across various networks, that a program like The Chosen is topping box office records. People are going out to theaters and paying to see it! What does that tell me? People are craving for the true meaning of Christmas! Sure, many of the Christmas romantic comedies on TV are delightful and fun to watch, but when it comes down to it, most people desire to see what Christmas is really about - the birth of Jesus! How refreshing! This gives me hope for the future as we soon end this year and begin a new one.

Joyous Blessings to You All
as we rejoice together over the Savior's birth!

Merry Christmas!
In His Love, Net

Despite the challenge, Whitney and Andi sign onto the job - only to discover the home’s new owner is Whitney’s ex-boyfriend, Connor Sheenan (Bateman), who has moved to town from Los Angeles with his bright-eyed, young daughter, Daisy (Rubi Tupper). Connor had no intention of becoming a family man, but when his goddaughter is orphaned, he adopts her and commits to becoming a devoted single dad.

So... how has your week been? I've been busy with my family and doing all sorts of preparations for Christmas. Our weather is so nice, with temps in the 50's to almost 60's during the day and 40's at nights. I can hardly believe it, but since it is so nice, we have a home renovation project coming up this weekend. I'm praying that it all goes smoothly and the guys coming to work will be safe and get the job done efficiently, but quickly, too. Hopefully, between all the hammering, I'll be able to watch a movie or two. Not sure how that will go, but we'll see!

*Please note- I have NOT pre-screened these NEW Christmas movies listed above. If you happen to watch one of the NEW Christmas movies this week and want to share whether or not it is a family friendly movie, please stop back by and leave a review.

You may have noticed, I did not share 2 new movies premiering this weekend above. The first movie is the Hallmark Channel movie - Sister Swap: A Hometown Holiday. The second movie in the series, Sister Swap: Christmas in the City, includes a same sex couple. Based on this content and my personal values according to my faith, I have decided not to share either film. The other movie I did not share above is the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries movie Every Time a Bell a Rings. This movie previously premiered on the Hallmark Movies Now streaming source, and I want to inform you this movie will also contain the same sort of content. Thank you, Rebecca and Janet, for sharing this information with us. You can read their reviews - here.

By the way, if you share a movie review this weekend or sometime in December, please know, I will do my best to get it up on the site quickly for others to see. I may not be able to respond to every comment/review, but I am truly grateful and I know many, MANY others are, too!

was coming into the world.

He was in the world,

and the world was made through Him…”
