🌟 Honoring our Military on Veteran's Day! 🌟

Today we say "Thank You" to those who have served America by defending her and protecting our Freedom! A very special thank you to all of you who visit here who have served in the United States Military and to those of you, who have had a loved one serve. I know that is an incredible sacrifice and love of country, as well.

My Daddy is a Veteran and I'm so proud of his service, along with my Grandfather, Several Uncles, and Cousins. Please share in comments below if you have loved ones who have been in any branch of the military. We are incredibly grateful for their service.

What a blessing it is to live in a Country where we are free; I pray we shall always remain that way.

To honor our service men and women, past and present, on this Veteran's day, Lifetime is re-airing their new Military themed Christmas movie...

Storyline via Hallmark: Our tiniest angels and the dedicated nurses who care for them in the NICU are in the spotlight in this heartwarming Christmas story in which our "Scrooge," a corporate numbers cruncher, gets a lesson in love and humanity from the very people his cost-cutting plan impacts the most.

"Christmas at Dollywood"

Storyline via Hallmark: Event planner Rachel Davis returns to her Tennessee hometown to take on the biggest job of her career – Dollywood’s 30th Smoky Mountain Christmas celebration – and is teamed up with unimaginative operations director Luke Hakman to plan the event that has to be as bombastic and glamorous as Dolly Parton herself.

★★★★★★★★★★

Hope you enjoy these Christmas movies this week!

I am always elated to see an encore airing of "Hearts of Christmas" on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries! There is just so much to love about this story - from the tiny little babies, to the witty banter, a very fun mention of "It's a Wonderful Life," terrific ensemble cast - which includes the POstables ("Signed, Sealed, Delivered" fans) with Crystal Lowe (Rita) and the Hearties ("When Calls the Heart" fans) with Chris McNally (Lucas). Plus, the romance that develops between Emilie Ullerup & Kristoffer Polaha's characters always touches the heart!

On Friday night, we are in for a treat with "Christmas at Dollywood" starring two more Hallmark favorites - Danica McKellar & Niall Matter! Will they be able to plan the big annual Christmas event and have the Christmas Tree of Many Colors lit in time? This is a delightfully fun, family-friendly movie that might just make you want to get out your cowboy boots and do a little line dancing!

Happy First Weekend of Fall, Everyone!

It's really beginning to feel more and more like autumn here in the Midwest. The leaves are still mostly green on our trees, but I'm spotting a few golden ones here and there. However, the fields around our family farm are ready and the combine started up yesterday - it's officially Fall Harvest!

Hope you all enjoy the new movies. I'm really looking forward to "JL Family Ranch: The Wedding Gift." The first movie was filled with mystery and intrigue; I'm hoping the second one will resolve previous disputes.

*Please Note: I have not pre-screened these new movies, but based on the previews we've been given, thus far, I am anticipating they will be family-friendly.

Have a nice weekend...

Blessings, Net

🎄 Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas & Miracles of Christmas 2020 🎄

images: Hallmark Crown Media

The Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries are getting ready to spread Christmas Cheer - beginning October 23rd. Through EW - Hallmark just announced nearly all of their 40 New Christmas movies coming in 2020.

I am personally excited about many of these NEW PAIRINGS…

"If I Only Had Christmas" will star one of my favorites, Candace Cameron Bure ("Christmas Town"), along with Warren Christie, who I just love in the Hallmark classic, "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." I can't wait to see these two together! Candace has shared that her new holiday film will have a 'Wizard of Oz' theme, so I'm looking forward to seeing how that story is mixed into this new Christmas movie! Will there be ruby slippers, a yellow brick road, and (please no!) scary flying monkeys??? All I can say is... "There's no place like home... there's no place like home..."

Another pairing I was excited to see, was Jill Wagner and Lucas Bryant, who I just love and will be starring together in "The Angel Tree!" Doesn't that sound so sweet? Plus, Brooke D’Orsay and Sam Page sound ideal together for "A Godwink Christmas: First Loves, Second Chances" and it's no secret that Jen Lilley and Trevor Donovan will be starring together in USS Christmas, but I still love hearing more and more about this Patriotic movie that honors our military!

I was also thrilled to officially see these actors who have previously worked together - are doing so again...

A Bright and Merry Christmas
Starring: Alison Sweeney and Marc Blucas
(Who previously starred together in "The Irresistible Blueberry Farm")

Christmas Waltz
Starring: Lacey Chabert, Will Kemp
(Who previously starred together in "Love, Romance, and Chocolate")

A Glenbrooke Christmas
Starring: Autumn Reeser and Antonio Cupo
(Who previously starred together in "Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade" and "I Do, I Do, I Do")


Now, please know and beware... there are a couple movies I won't be promoting due to my own personal faith and beliefs, because these movies include same sex couples. Those movies are "The Christmas House" and "A Christmas Tree Grows in Brooklyn." There may be others, but I am currently only aware of these two. It saddens me to see the direction Hallmark is taking, leaving behind those of us of faith. They want to be diverse and include everyone, well, this does not include me and my family. I am very disappointed in Hallmark over this issue, and I know other viewers feel the same. We will have to be very careful on what we choose to watch this year.

Lacey Chabert ("Christmas in Rome") will not only be starring in the movie, "Christmas Waltz" on the Hallmark Channel, but she will also have a starring role in a new Christmas movie on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, in "Time for Us to Come Home for Christmas." Her co-star is Stephen Huszar of "A Home for the Holidays."

In the new Christmas movie, "A Nashville Christmas Carol," starring Jessy Schram and Wes Brown, we will find many great Country Music stars: Wynonna Judd, Sara Evans, RaeLynn, Kix Brooks and actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley ("The Christmas Train") also stars!

Now... there are a few movies left to fill, so we don't know quite, yet, every movie. I didn't see Kathie Lee Gifford's name with "A Godwink Christmas;" which leaves me wondering if she will be in this third installment? Other Hallmark regulars I don't see mentioned, yet, are: Kristoffer Polaha, Cindy Busby, Jodie Sweetin, Kevin McGarry, Jesse Metcalfe, Chad Michael Murray, Brittany Bristow, Ashley Newbrough, Kellie Martin, and many more! Stay tuned for future updates.

Candace Cameron Bure will host the 2020 Countdown to Christmas Preview Special on the Hallmark Channel, Saturday, October 17, 2020 and Jen Lilley & Trevor Donovan will host Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' 2020 Miracles of Christmas Preview Special on Sunday, October 18, 2020.

CHRISTMAS MOVIE NEWS:

In case you missed it, Lifetime released their full 2020 Christmas movie slate this week. SEE HERE.

Please know, I will NOT be promoting every Lifetime Christmas film. Unfortunately, with some exceptions, it will be difficult to know which movies are family-friendly, but I will be sharing here throughout the Christmas season if I learn of any movie of concern - and I absolutely appreciate those of you who take time to share information, too!

First off, I will NOT be promoting the Lifetime movie, "The Christmas Set Up," because the main storyline is a same sex romance. I wanted to be sure to warn you all of this right away and let you know this movie is featured in the new Lifetime Christmas movie promo. Most likely this commercial will run this Christmas season on the Lifetime network. Please beware of this if you decide to turn there.

One movie that looks good to me, so far, is a new Lifetime Military Christmas movie titled "A Welcome Home Christmas." It appears to have lots of promise. The movie stars Jana Kramer ("Christmas in Mississippi," "Love at First Bark") and Brandon Quinn ("Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses"), plus the movie co-stars Tim Reid, Charlene Tilton, and country singer, Craig Morgan. To see more on this movie and more Christmas movies coming to Lifetime this Christmas season - CLICK HERE.

🍂🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍂

I hope you all have a pleasant last weekend of Summer, and maybe, enjoy a movie or two!

I'm looking forward to the new Fall Harvest movie this weekend and both of the Christmas Sneak Peeks, plus the UPtv movie premiere!

*Please Note: I have not pre-screened these new movies, but based on the previews we've been given, thus far, I am anticipating they will be family-friendly. Let's hope so! 

Have a nice weekend, everyone...

Blessings, Net
