MY *Mark the 25th* PICK:

My personal pick to *Mark the 25th,* at this time of uncertainty during the coronavirus, is Hearts of Christmas! I chose this movie because it highlights our Doctors and Nurses, who are currently working night and day to provide medical care. God bless them. I will watch and pray and be thankful for their incredible service.

image: Hallmark Crown Media

I am also going to try to see all three Christmas movies Hallmark is playing this week. I just love the beautiful Nutcracker ballet scene in A Nutcracker Christmas. It reminds me of when my family and I attended this enchanting ballet when I was a little girl. Oh... what memories!

A Christmas Miracle and Christmas at Graceland: Home for the Holidays are both delightful, feel good Christmas, so I'm looking forward to re-watching both of them and singing along on Thursday and Friday night!

🎵Graceland Movie Garage Sale! 🎵

image: Hallmark Crown Media

According to commercialappeal.com, there will be a special sale of items from the three Hallmark Channel Graceland movies: "The cash-only "Set Decoration, Props, and Wardrobe Sale" will take place from 2-7 p.m. Aug. 22 and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 23 at 1910 Nonconnah Blvd,, Suite 106 (the "Wedding at Graceland" and "Home for the Holidays" production office)."

Please don't get "All Shook Up" thinking this is the end. The article is clear to point out that this doesn't mean the end of the Graceland movies, in fact it specifically mentions, "more Elvis-connected feature-film romances are planned." This sale is simply a way for the production to let go of unnecessary items not needed for future films.

The three Graceland movies, with various products included are: Christmas at Graceland and Wedding at Graceland starring Kellie Pickler and Wes Brown and the upcoming, recently filmed, Christmas at Graceland: Home for the Holidays starring Adrian Grenier and Kaitlin Doubleday.
