PLOT:

Storyline via Hallmark: A struggling country singer meets a Nashville songwriter in need of inspiration. Teaming up to write a song, their work gets complicated but results in both a hit song...and true love.

Struggling Nashville musician Shayna is on the verge of giving up on her career and returns to her small-town home, when a chance encounter with prolific songwriter Grady changes everything. He’s trying writing a song for country music star Duke Sterling and Shayna seems like the perfect writing partner. The two grow closer and romance blooms as they work on their love song, but when Shayna meets Duke, who takes a liking to her and asks her to be his opening act, it undermines everything she and Grady created and Shayna feels forced to choose between love and possible stardom.

A Christmas Gift from Rascal Flatts

The popular Country Music Singers, Rascal Flatts, created a special recording of the
beautiful Christmas Song, Away in a Manger, that you can download for free on their web-site, here:
http://www.rascalflatts.com/gift

I also love their release of I'll be home for Christmas. It's a lovely version. You can Download this Song from Amazon for 99 cents or check out the rest of their album, titled Rascal Flatts unwrapped.

The song, Away in a Manger, has special meaning to me... as a little girl I sang this in a Christmas Music Pageant. It's such a precious song with great meaning in it's lyrics....

"Away in a manger,
no crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus
lay down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky
looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus,
asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing,
the poor Baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus,
no crying He makes;
I love Thee, Lord Jesus,
look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
till morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay,
Close by me forever,
and love me, I pray!
Bless all the dear children
in Thy tender care
And take us to heaven,
to Live with Thee there."

-----------------------

God's Blessings to you all... Merry Christmas!

Carrie Underwood Christmas Special

I just added to the Christmas TV Schedule - Carrie Underwood's new Christmas Special, titled:

Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special

This information was released today, October 13, 2009:

The Fox network says Carrie Underwood will host a two-hour variety special tentatively titled, "Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special," to air Dec. 7.

The network says Underwood will perform new music from her upcoming album, previous hits and holiday classics. Musical guests will include Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley and David Cook.

Underwood won season four of "American Idol." The 26-year-old country singer is a four-time Grammy winner.

Her new album will be released Nov. 3.

The first CD listed above is Carrie's newest album - being released Nov. 3. The second CD includes a bonus CD of Christmas songs that are all so wonderful. I personally own this one and highly recommend it - as I enjoy it very much!
