Has ❄️ Winter Storm Landon ❄️ visited your house?

image source: screen grab of  GAC Family's "Jingle Bell Princess"

For my family and I, here in the heartland of the Midwest, we are on day two of *Winter Storm Landon* that is sweeping across multiple states... causing travel restrictions, air flight delays, power outages, and basically, hazardous weather conditions. Is your home in the path of the storm, too? I just heard on the weather channel that over 100 million Americans have some sort of weather alert today.

Depending on the source, we are hearing by the end of today we could have around 15+ inches of snow. Our snowfall has been steady and the wind has been fierce, blowing it all around in blizzard type conditions. Are you seeing the same view out your window? Our local weather man calmly told us over the weekend to not to be scared, but be prepared. I thought that was excellent advice. Thankfully, we had just been to the grocery store and we were ready. Yes, we WERE ready. But then, our refrigerator stopped working. Yikes! We tried to have it repaired, but that was going to cost more than a new one. We were in danger of losing all of the new food we had just purchased, so we quickly chose a new one on Tuesday. It had to be local and in stock. Thankfully, we were able to find the one we liked, not too far away, and it was on sale! All the food we had stocked up with was saved. We were so thankful to The Lord we were able to locate it and get it into our home (thanks to a fork-lift on our tractor) just a day before the storm came. What a blessing! Thankfully, we still have our electricity, too. I hope you all do, as well.

We once went through an ice storm, where our power lines came down all over our area, and we were without power for over a week. That was difficult and challenging, but my family and I made it through it just fine, and my heart always goes out to those who are affected by sleet, freezing rain, icy conditions, fallen trees and prolonged power outages.

I hope you all are doing well and keeping warm in your homes. Please be sure to share in comments below - what the weather has been like for you.

Since we are snowed in, this winter wonderland is really giving me the Christmas feels... putting me in the mood for some Christmas movies! If you still have electricity and can watch TV, we have three good ones to choose from on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, the Hallmark Channel, and GAC Family this week...

Happy Thanksgiving Week! Get Your Fill of Christmas Movies!

My prayer for you all on this Thanksgiving week - is that you will have joy in your heart and good health. I am so grateful to the Lord above for salvation, precious family, dear friends, a warm home, and love beyond measure. I pray you feel the same.

Every Thanksgiving my heart ponders about the Pilgrims who crossed an ocean to an unknown land - seeking and yearning for religious freedom. How brave and courageous those men and women were... who endured through sickness, bitter cold, and hunger. Through all their many hardships and losses, they leaned on their faith in God and gave thanks on that first Thanksgiving for all of their blessings of coming to this new land, America. May we never forget the sacrifices our ancestors made - so we can be free today!

Happy Thanksgiving, dear friends!

I am grateful for each of you who visit here.

God's Blessings to You All!

Here are the new movies airing this Thanksgiving week and weekend! It's quite a long list, so you'll have to pace yourself and save room for leftovers! Enjoy!

Royally Wrapped for Christmas

In “Royally Wrapped for Christmas,” Lindsay Peterson (Lilley) of Brooklyn, NY, heads up one of the most successful chapters of the Festive Heart Foundation, a philanthropic organization dedicated to underserved children and founded by the Royal Family of Veronia. The foundation will commemorate its centennial this holiday and Lindsay is summoned to the kingdom to plan the celebratory gala. Before she embarks to Veronia, Lindsay meets the charity’s President, Willard, and a pleasant man, Aiden (Fehr), who Lindsay mistakenly believes is the organization’s accountant. Willard persuades Lindsay to join him and two other organizers from the global charity in Veronia. It is there Lindsay discovers the “accountant” is really Crown Prince Aiden who is to ascend the throne after his mother, Queen Rayna. Committed to the mission of the charity, Lindsay proposes a new idea based on a tradition she learned from her grandmother: each Christmas, two gifts must be given. One to keep, one to give. Veronia’s Parliament enthusiastically accepts Lindsay’s proposal for the charity, vowing to change the world in the kindest way. Now Prince Aiden must decide if the commoner from New York who has helped so many may have just stolen his heart.

You may have noticed in the list above, I did not include the movie: A Christmas Witness, which is also premiering Sunday night on ION. I have decided not to promote this movie based on it's rating: TV-PG D,L,S,V. The movie includes dialogue, language, sex and violence. Needless to say, it doesn't sound like a wholesome family film, so I'll be skipping this one.

There are several, however, I am looking forward to seeing: The Nine Kittens of Christmas, Angel Falls Christmas, Reba McEntire's Christmas in Tune, Royally Wrapped for Christmas, Christmas at Castle Hart, Time for Them to Come Home for Christmas, Christmas is You and The Christmas Contest! And more!

I'm kinda on the fence about The Waltons’ Homecoming (remake), but I'm curious, too. It's so hard to top the original, which I love! Plus, they actually removed one of the children - Ben! I personally feel that was a big mistake. On a brighter note, I have heard they created this specifically with the idea of keeping the family and faith elements of The Waltons' series from the 1970's intact - so that is positive news. Hopefully, this movie will compliment the original drama. In case you are not able to watch it on TV, the new remake movie The Waltons: Homecoming 2021 is now available to order on DVD at Amazon. (By the way, the original, The Homecoming: A Christmas Story, is available on DVD, too - click here!)

Please share which movies you are looking forward to seeing this Thanksgiving week in comments below. Hopefully, you can catch some wonderful, cherished classics and some festive new ones!

*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.
