Thank you, again, to the Anonymous follower who shared these movies with us.

Please note: I have not seen any of these films. If you've watched any of these Christmas movies and would like to share a review, please do so in comments below.

Karen shared this review for Candy Coated Christmas:

πŸŽ„"I watched a movie called Candy Coated Christmas. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know, in case you want to add it to this list of movies, that unfortunately due to one phrase, it is not family friendly. A younger girl is asking the main female character if she has any boyfriends back home. The main female character replies that she doesn't and explains why...to which the younger girl asks "Have you tried girls". There is no reply to this question...the topic totally changes. It's like this phrase has just been thrown in there to reach their quota or something. Otherwise, the rest of the movie is ok." ~Karen

I hope this review is helpful for you. Candy Coated Christmas stars Molly McCook (Last Man Standing), Aaron O'Connell (12 Gifts of Christmas, Made for Each Other), and Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman, Food Network).



🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟




** Hallmark Drama has a little Christmas, too!

-- On Saturday, see What I Did for Love at 1pm/12c.

-- On Sunday, see The Color of Rain at 5pm/4c. (Note: There's only a short Christmas scene at the end of the movie, but it's still quite a touching film.)

I hope you all have a wonderful, sunshiny weekend. Please do keep cool out there, if you can, in this intense Summer heat. It's going to be severely hot across many states this weekend.

I'm going to soak up a little sunshine and try to catch as much as I can of Great American Family's last few days of Christmas 24/7. Plus, I'm going to be sure to record the new *Christmas in July* movie on the Hallmark Channel. I may have mentioned a time or two that I'm a big fan of Corey Sevier - so I'm hoping this is a good one!

Have a beautiful, blessed weekend, everyone!
Happy Christmas in July!

This next movie suggestion is not a new premiere; however, I missed sharing the original premiere date with you all back in April, so now that there are two encore showings coming up, I thought I would share these dates/times - in hopes that you might be able to catch one of them!

See the encore airing of...




Storyline: The owner of a quaint New Zealand yarn shop, Sophie Dale, gets her world flipped upside down after learning her top supplier of yarn, King Farms, is stopping production. Much to her surprise, the charming yet stuck-in-his-ways Samuel King has traveled all the way from New York to audit the business model of the farm. Desperate to keep her shop going, Sophie convinces Samuel to give her two weeks to learn the ropes of yarn spinning and raise enough money to buy the mill herself. With Samuel’s help, Sophie comes up with a fundraising plan to host a “knit-off” and auction at the local makers market. However, when the two weeks come to an end Sophie finds herself at the crossroads of business and romance. Could she have misinterpreted Samuels growing romantic interest in her as just business all along?

Sunday, August 1, 2021

Another encore airing of

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend as we transition from July to August. It's been so hot here in the Midwest lately with high, sultry, tropical humidity. Being outdoors, therefore, has been less than enjoyable. This weekend, however, we are expecting milder temps and lower humidity, so I'm looking forward to enjoying some comfortable weather and outdoor activities. Hope your weather is pleasant, too!

As I mentioned above, it's going to be hard to say goodbye to Christmas in July on Saturday, but I'm hopeful we'll have many wonderful Christmas movies to look forward to this upcoming holiday season.

Please Note: I have not pre-screened the new movies above. If you'd like to share a review after the movies air, please share in comments. Thank you!


Blessings to you all, Net

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

The Parable of the Lost Sheep

10 “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11 For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.

12 “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? 13 And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

~Matthew 18:10-14

🎠Get Swept Up in 7 NEW Christmas TV MoviesπŸŽ„ - the Last Weekend Before Christmas!!! πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰



It's hard to believe THIS WEEKEND is officially the VERY LAST ONE before CHRISTMAS!!! It seems this year, in 2020, time often stood still with all of life's uncertainties and Christmas, the idealistic day of peace of harmony, often felt like a million miles away - and now HERE IT IS... Almost! My greatest wish is that everyone will feel loved this Christmas, that we enjoy the simple things, and we each spread the true JOY and LOVE of Christmas!

I live in the heartland of the Midwest, where we had around 3 inches of snow fall this week. It was our first real snow of the season; and oh my, it was breathtaking! There's nothing quite like a white Christmas! Although, it will surely all melt by Christmas next week, I'm enjoying looking out my window now- it just feels Christmassy, like living in a snow globe!

This weekend I'm going to be extra busy wrapping gifts and catching some of the NEW Christmas movies and some old ones, too. I'm hoping there will be lots of good ones to enjoy from Friday to Sunday! I'm most looking forward to these new movies: Christmas on the Menu, A Christmas Carousel, Cross Country Christmas and Project Christmas Wish! (Hopefully, they will all be family friendly!) Please share which ones you're looking forward to - in comments below!

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

On this fourth weekend of advent, as we in our final days of preparation for Christmas, we fix our hearts upon the “Lord of Peace,” who came to earth over 2000 years ago as a baby.

"The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. 
We have seen His Glory, the Glory of the One and only Son, 
who came from the Father, full of Grace and Truth." 

(John 1:14)
