I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie during the Christmas season - and I'm so looking forward to this re-watch! The interaction between Josh Henderson and Megan Park - was truly exceptional, plus the music, especially at the end, is an ideal, heartwarming Christmas homecoming!

Storyline via Hallmark: Cara faces a bittersweet Christmas since her mother’s passing. Flying to Oklahoma, she meets country singer Heath, facing a tough holiday too since his father’s death.

"Finding Santa" is such a charming, wholesome Hallmark holiday movie! Can the perfect Santa be found - just in time - before the town's Christmas parade? If only Ben and Grace can find some common ground and compromise. Perhaps, a little dose of Christmas spirit will encourage Ben to change his mind and play the role of Santa - like his father before him!

Storyline via Hallmark: Christmas is a busy, busy time for the residents of Green River, particularly for Grace Long, the third generation of her family to steward the New England town’s signature Christmas Eve parade. This year’s audience for the parade promises to be in the millions, thanks to a national morning show that has chosen Green River as the site of its Christmas Eve day program. But this huge opportunity will vanish if Grace can’t find a suitable substitute for the town’s famed Santa, aka Tom White, after he takes a nasty fall and breaks his arm. Unfortunately, the only person who could conceivably fill Tom’s boots is... click here to read more...

Happy Thanksgiving!


Here Comes Santa Claus!!!

Of course, Thanksgiving morning on TV always begins with...
The Thanksgiving Day Parade!

My favorite part is always when Santa comes (finally) at the end waving to the crowds of cheering spectators who line the parade route to get a glimpse of jolly Old Saint Nicholas waving back at them! I just love when he gives that twinkle in his eyes, shakes his belly "like a bowl full of jelly," and "lays his finger aside his nose"! After that, it truly feels like the Christmas season is officially here!!!



Storyline via Hallmark: When aspiring romance novelist Kim Rossi (Alicia Witt) is unceremoniously dumped by her soon-to-be-published romance novelist boyfriend, Garth (Casey Manderson), Kim takes stock and decides to take a leap. She signs up for a romance writing retreat at a quaint Vermont Inn shortly before Christmas, where a top romance novelist is scheduled to attend. Shortly after arriving, she crosses paths with...

(I'm not sure if this movie is Holiday related in any way, but I'm sure this is something your entire family will enjoy!)

Storyline via Breakthrough Entertainment: (via Lucy Maud Montgomery online) When Anne Shirley turns thirteen, she faces complex issues with her friends, inspirational adults and Marilla and Matthew. At the same time, she begins a friendship with Gilbert Blythe that emotionally escalates to disrupt the status quo of her peaceful world. Her free-spirited nature is challenged by her perceived need to become sensible, and her journey toward this goal is fraught with confusion and more than a few unfortunate – albeit, amusing – mishaps. Through school events and playtime after class, Anne continues to... Click Here to Read More...

Storyline via BYU press release: Instrument of War is an original scripted holiday television special inspired by first-hand accounts of WWII bomber pilot Clair Cline, an American B-24 pilot captured and held as Prisoner of War (POW) in a German prison camp, Stalag Luft I. After being shot down over Nazi-occupied Holland during a bombing mission, Cline and the surviving members of his crew struggled to keep themselves psychologically sound while living in captivity under the rule of a ruthless Commandant. To resist helplessness and bitterness that plagued POWs, Cline, a self-taught musician, crafted a violin from bunk bed slats, the leg of a chair, dried glue from the bottom of chairs and a shard of glass as a wood carving tool.
