Day 7: Hallmark sends a Letter and an Angel from Heaven!

Twas the Night before -
the Hallmark Channel joins
Christmas in July Movies & More!!!

July 13, 2017 - Thursday

Angels and Ornaments ... HMM ... 7 PM
Love Always, Santa ... HMM ... 9 PM
Another Chance ... TCT ... 1:30 AM

Plus, Christmas in July continues on Hallmark Channel's morning show Home & Family at 10 am (EST) with actress Catherine Bell from the new Hallmark Movies & Mysteries original movie "Home for Christmas Day." You'll also see Christmas Crafts, Holiday Cooking, and more... Brooke Nevin ("The Christmas Cure") & Paul Greene ("A Wish for Christmas," "When Calls the Heart Christmas!") will be stopping by on Friday's show!

"Angels and Ornaments"

Tonight's Hallmark Christmas movies - "Angels and Ornaments" and "Love Always, Santa"... I recall being ones that fans immediately fell in love with! First, "Angels and Ornaments" - because of the beautiful music! Once viewers heard the breathtaking song "Twas the Night," they longed to know more! It is still a treasured movie that first premiered on the Hallmark Channel, but has rightfully found it's home on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, due to the stories' elaborate intricacies! It will most likely leave you singing or humming the chorus "Twas the night, twas the night... I played your song wish you’d come home for Christmas where you belong. Twas the night (twas the night) Twas the night (twas the night) The world dressed in white please come home for Christmas my darling tonight."

This movie actually couldn't have come at a better time... since this is "Twas the Night" before Christmas Keepsake begins on the Hallmark Channel!

"Love Always, Santa"

"Love Always, Santa" was the first new movie on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries in 2016, and viewers just ate it up! I did, too! Everything about it is interesting... a precious little girl, Lilly Banks, who has an imagination the size of Texas, her Mother Celia, who is half grieving over the loss of her husband 3 years before and half hoping for the chance at new romance, Jake Granger, a young writer who finds love through the written word... and a realistic small town that doesn't quite believe in such fantasies. "Love Always, Santa" is a romantic Christmas adventure you won't want to miss! The end will surely leave you *wishing* for more!

Enjoy the Christmas Movies today
on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!

"Christmas Keepsake" Week
begins tomorrow *Friday, June 14th*
on the Hallmark Channel!

*See the Christmas Schedule - HERE!*

Blessings to you all, Net

Which Hallmark Movies & Mysteries *CHRISTMAS* Movie did You like Best in 2016? (YOUR TAKE!)

In 2016, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries premiered

*7 Most Wonderful Movies of CHRISTMAS!*

For those of you who have this remarkable channel, I know many of you were blessed by many (if not all!) of the Christmas movies that premiered on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries last year! I know I certainly was, along with my family! Most impressive was the depth of heart and character found in these films, as well as humor!

With SEVEN films, this was Hallmark Movies & Mysteries biggest New Christmas Movie offering, yet, with stars that matched and rivaled the Hallmark Channel - including: Cameron Mathison, Mira Sorvino, Erin Krakow, Niall Matter, Wendie Malick, Tricia Helfer, Marc Blucas, Lisa Durupt, Marguerite Moreau, Mike Faiola, Brady Smith, Emilie Ullerup, Kristoffer Polaha, Sharon Lawrence, Crystal Lowe, Kimberly Sustad, James Brolin, Mena Suvari, John Reardon, Lindy Booth, Robin Dunne, and many more!!! Wow!!!

Beyond the actors and actresses, the magnificent Stories in each film were all Stars, as well..., but which ones Shined the Brightest?

Your movie choices are: "Love Always, Santa," "Finding Father Christmas," "Operation Christmas," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "Hearts of Christmas," "Sound of Christmas," and "A Christmas to Remember."

It is time for You to Give...

Your Take!

This is where you can share *Your Take* on one of the most recent blocks of Original TV movies! In addition to the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries *CHRISTMAS* Movies (today), we will also be doing the "Winterfest" and "Countdown to Valentine's Day" movies - soon! Stay tuned for those posts!

Please answer these 2 Questions in the comments below...


1.) Which Hallmark Movies & Mysteries *Most Wonderful Movies of CHRISTMAS* original movie did you like/love the most?

(Okay, it may be too hard to pick just one here. So... if you like, you may pick your TOP THREE!)


2.) Which Hallmark Movies & Mysteries *Most Wonderful Movies of CHRISTMAS* original movie poster (above) do you like best?

(Again, it may be too hard to pick just one here. So... if you like, you may pick your TOP THREE here, too!)


I almost considered narrowing it down to only 1 or 2 favorites, but let's face it, there were so many good ones from HMM this past year, I thought that just might be an impossible feat! Even 3 - is quite difficult to narrow it down to!

Looking forward to hearing all your responses!!! Feel free to briefly share your thoughts on all the *Christmas* movies!!!


*Please note: Any comment that contains language or is demeaning to the actors intelligence, weight, or their overall appearance, etc... will not be published. If you didn't like a particular movie or the story, it's fine to share that. However, let's try to keep this positive of what we liked best about the "Most Wonderful Movies of CHRISTMAS"! Thank you!

As I shared before... Yes, I do have my favorite Christmas Movies, as well! In fact, I will be nominating 12 Christmas Movies from ALL the Networks for the annual "It's a Wonderful Movie" Awards - Coming Soon! Your opinions/picks below may be a factor in the nomination process!

Thank You to Everyone who takes the time to share in the joy & spirit of the Christmas season by sharing your Christmas movie favorites - below!!!
