The Santa Clauses


Season 1, Episode 1 · Chapter One: Good to Ho -

Scott Calvin struggles to keep up with the demands of being Santa Claus as he grows older.


Season 1, Episode 2 · Chapter Two: The Secessus Clause -

Scott learns of the Secessus clause and contemplates retirement from his yearly duties.


*Please note: While I am not endorsing Disney's new woke agenda, I am encouraged to see Tim Allen speak out about bringing CHRIST back into CHRISTmas programming! Hopefully, the Santa Clause series of episodes will all be family-friendly. If this series has a large following, then they (Disney execs) will hopefully see this is the kind of entertainment people want to see and not Disney's woke movies that have recently failed at the box office.

air Friday, December 16, 2022

Holiday Heritage airs Friday night on the Hallmark Channel. In this movie, they celebrate both Christmas and Kwanzaa. I did a little research on Kwanzaa because, frankly, I knew some but little about it. I found this article at beliefnet.com to be very helpful. Kwanzaa is not a religious holiday but a secular one created by a college professor in the 1960s. You can read more about it - here. If you do some searching on its origin, you'll see Kwanzaa's creator, Dr. Maulana Karenga, has a dark criminal history and a desire to distract and divide Christians from celebrating Christmas. I would like to hear your thoughts on this, as well, in comments below.



🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟



I hope you all are enjoying all of these special days leading up to Christmas. Today I'm going to be very busy, like Santa's elves, wrapping Christmas presents!

Merry Christmas and Blessings to you all! Net





🌟 SHINING HIS LIGHT: 🌟

"After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stood over the place where the Child was.

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh."

~Matthew 2:9-11

πŸŽ… Two Popular Christmas Sequels In-The-Works! πŸŽ„ Do YOU say Yes, Yes, Yeeeessss or HO-HO-NO? πŸŽ…



You may have already heard this recently released Christmas Entertainment news, but just in case you haven't - on January 14th, 2022, Disney announced actor Tim Allen (Home Improvement, Toy Story (voice of Buzz Lightyear), Last Man Standing, etc...) would be reprising his role as Santa Claus/Scott Calvin in an all new "Santa Clause" series for their streaming service, Disney Plus.

According to an article in Variety, here is the storyline: "In the series, Scott Calvin is on the brink of his 65th birthday and realizing that he can’t be Santa forever. He’s starting to lose a step in his Santa duties, and more importantly, he’s got a family who could benefit from a life in the normal world, especially his two kids who have grown up at the Pole. With a lot of elves, children, and family to please, Scott sets out to find a suitable replacement Santa while preparing his family for a new adventure in a life south of the pole.




πŸŽ„My Quick Take - on the "Santa Clause" sequel news:

I personally have always loved the trilogy of "Santa Clause" films, ever since I watched the first movie in 1994! Back in the 90's, the "Home Improvement" sitcom was quite popular, so that made Tim Allen an excellent choice for this role. There's something so magical and enchanting about the North Pole and Santa, of course! Watching Scott Calvin transform into the role of Santa Claus and delivering gifts from home to home is always so much fun. I especially love his son, Charlie... his overwhelming excitement is like every little boy and girl at Christmas - who still believes! We are introduced to Charlie's little sister, Lucy, in "The Santa Clause 2," and she has the same sparkle about Christmas in her eyes, as Charlie did in the first film!

Ever since I heard this sequel news, I've been thinking it over, and I must say, I don't really like the idea of Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) stepping down from his role as Santa. Santa Claus has always held the iconic image of being older with his gray hair and beard, plump belly, and glasses. The age of 65 actually seems ideal for Santa. I always thought Tim Allen was a little young for the role before, and now that he is the perfect age (in my opinion) to be Santa Claus (or Santa Clause!), they want to replace him with someone, presumably, younger? Frankly, I'm not liking this. While I do love the idea of there being an all new "Santa Clause' series, I'm not liking the idea of Santa being replaced. It's my hope that Scott Calvin sets out to find someone new, perhaps his son, Charlie, and either he takes over or Scott (Tim Allen) realizes a renewed love for his mission of being Santa!

I would love to hear your thoughts in comments below...



The other popular Christmas sequel recently announced on January 20, 2022 - is a sequel to "A Christmas Story". I find this is a movie most people either love or hate. My aunt always loved it! To be honest, though, it's not one I personally love, but I don't hate it either. There's something about the 1940's era and nostalgic part of it that pulls me in. Now, the father can be rather gruff and somewhat vulgar with his leg lamp and all, but that's part of the comedy of the story, I guess, that draws people in. Ralphie's ultimate dream of wanting the "Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle" (AKA: BB gun) actually comes true, and that's also part of the charm people like, a child's simple wish coming true at Christmas time. The movie was actually filmed in Cleveland, Ohio and Toronto, Ontario. I think filming in the Cleveland area in the early 80's, gave it a realistic sense of small town America.

The fictional home used for "A Christmas Story" still stands in Ohio today; in fact, it was purchased by a man from California on Ebay for $150,000! He turned the place into a museum, movie merchandise store (they have some cute ornaments!), and according to the FAQs on the official web-site, they "triple dog dare you to spend the night in A Christmas Story House!" Reservation details can be found here. I think that would be a pretty neat overnight stay for anyone who loves the movie.

As for the sequel, Entertainment Weekly announced that Peter Billingsley will reprise his role as Ralphie and produce this all new feature for HBO Max, which has been titled, "A Christmas Story Christmas". Furthermore, EW shared these story details: "The sequel will follow an adult version of the character in the 1970s, who returns to the house on Cleveland Street to deliver his kids a magical Christmas like the one he had growing up. With the same attention to real-life tone as the original, Ralphie reconnects with childhood friends, reconciles the passing of his "Old Man," and sews the seeds for the origins of the beloved holiday classic."



πŸŽ„My Quick Take - on "A Christmas Story" sequel news:

The storyline we've been given sounds rather intriguing, as long as they keep the content PG clean. It's hard to say if that will happen, especially since it will be premiering on HBO Max. It sounds rather heartwarming to see a grown up Ralphie return to his childhood home and reconnect with past friends, but I'm sure there will be some comedy in there, too. Hope they are also able to bring back some of the other well-known characters from the original movie.

I would love to know your opinion on both sequels. Are you a fan of the "Santa Clause" or "A Christmas Story"? Please share your thoughts in comments below.

Happy movie watching!

25 Days of Christmas on Freeform includes The Santa Clause, Rudolph, Frosty, Kevin McCallister and more!!! SEE HERE:




You can see all of your favorite Christmas movie classics again this year on Freeform, including: Home Alone, The Christmas Story, Prancer Returns, and The Santa Clause! Plus, cherished Christmas cartoon classics: Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, The Little Drummer Boy, and Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town - all beginning on December 1st! The schedule is full of repeats of these beloved classic treasures! I know... I know... they play them over & over - but can you really ever see Home Alone or The Santa Clause enough? I just love Tim Allen as Scott Calvin/Santa and poor Kevin is all alone with those Sticky Wet Bandits! It's so much fun to get caught up watching them and laughing along with the family every year. Even though we've seen them numerous times - there's just something so warm and familiar about seeing them again this year!

Caution: While they aren't playing anything new on Freeform, I do want to mention they are playing Love Actually, The Night Before and Office Christmas Party, which are all R rated. I have never seen these movies; however, based on ratings, please beware of this if you are watching any of the other programs with your children. Thankfully, these movies are receiving very few airings compared to the other beloved Christmas classics we love.

I have added all of the family-friendly movies/cartoons airing on Freeform to the It's a Wonderful Movie Christmas TV Schedule, which just received an update this morning! See *here*!

Plus, ABC recently released their holiday schedule, which includes: Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town, The Great Christmas Light Fight, CMA Country Christmas, etc... You'll also find those in the Christmas Schedule, too!

Blessings to you all, Net

Christmas Movie Marathons!


On the days leading up to Christmas, there are so many Christmas Movies on every station, one can hardly choose...

 
FX has a Christmas with the Kranks Marathon!
 
It's still so funny, every time I watch it! I laugh, I cry, (well, I have misty eyes)... as it is truly hilarious and touching, in the end! Luther and Spike are my favorites, as well as... Marty and the Hickory Honey Ham!


image via: nydailynews.com
TNT and TBS will have the annual A Christmas Story marathon!
 
Get ready to hear... "You'll shoot your eye out" over and over again!
 

image via: UP
UP-TV and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will have a Yule Log!
 
I love to watch this on TV... so peaceful and beautiful!
 
 
 
FMC has a Marathon of the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol!
 
I think this must be my favorite version of all the renditions of A Christmas Carol. The way Alastair Sim's face lights up at the end of the movie, is something truly special!
 
 
 
The Hallmark Channel will have a Marathon of it's New Original Movies All Day on Christmas Day with limited commercial interruption, featuring Northpole (pictured above),  The Nine Lives of Christmas, A Royal Christmas, Angels and Ornaments, and so much more!
 
This is a very nice tribute from Hallmark to all of their new Christmas movies!
 
 
 
AMC has our Favorite Films...
Miracle on 34th Street, the old and new version,
plus The Santa Clause 2, and Bing Crosby singing White Christmas!
 
I love both versions of Miracle on 34th Street so much... I could never choose a favorite between them! White Christmas means so much to me, too, as I'm sure it does to you and your families, as well. Watching it, is like living in a Christmas Card!
 
 
 
TCM will have a Marathon of the Classic Christmas Movies
we know and love, including Christmas in Connecticut, It Happened on 5th Avenue, Love Finds Andy Hardy, Meet Me in St. Louis (pictured above), and many more!
 
Each of these movies is so dear and meaningful... with Judy Garland singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" in Meet Me in St. Louis, then Mickey Rooney, in Love Finds Andy Hardy gets into all kinds of trouble at Christmastime, and everything is a delightful, mixed-up mess in It Happened on 5th Avenue and Christmas in Connecticut!
 
I hope you and your family find something special to watch together this Christmas!
 
Please see the Christmas TV Schedule for times airing of all the Specials mentioned above!
 
God Bless Us, Everyone!
 
Merry Christmas!

February 14th Valentines Day TV Specials

Even though there were Valentines Day themed Specials over the weekend, there are still more to come - that will actually air on Valentine's Day!

 for Couples, with Style...
If you love a good Classic Romantic Movie, then you'll want to catch Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in Top Hat on TCM at 8 PM. I especially love in this film, the famous Iverling Berlin song, "Cheek to Cheek".


"Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek."


 for the Family...

INSP (as I mentioned a week or so ago) will air Love Inspired TV Shows and Dramas all day on their line-up from 12 PM - 2 AM, plus the sweet Romantic Comedy Movie at 8 PM- Just a Walk in the Park.

Here's a great Video Ad from INSP:
(Beware: Super cute and sweet!)


Check the INSP web-site for more details!
Or, see the Episodes Listed on my site

 for the Guys...
I'm not sure if the show will have anything to do with Valentine's day, except for the fact that it is airing on that night; however... If you enjoy Nascar, or if your someone who Loves Cars, then you just might want to catch the Tim Allen sitcom / comedy Just Standing, which will have a Special Nascar Guest on the show, Tuesday night - Tony Stewart. (on ABC at 8 PM est)

Twentieth Century Fox


 for the Girls...
If you enjoy a Disney Romantic Movie or if you've been dreaming of a true Love's Kiss... then Oxygen has Enchanted at 7 PM and 12 AM est.



Whether you watch a Romantic Movie
or dance Cheek to Cheek...

Whatever you do ~ 
to celebrate the day,

I hope you all have a...
Happy Valentines Day!

Toy Story 4 is in the Works!!!!



According to Tom Hanks who voices Woody, in Toy Story, - when asked by BBC’s Tim Muffet if Disney/Pixar was working on a “Toy Story 4,” he answered: "I think there will be, yeah. Yeah, yeah, think they’re working on it now. There you go..."

I love the Toy Story series of movies; however, I think there were mixed emotions on Toy Story 3. It was sweet and fun, and a little sad...

I personally, as a very girly girl, who loved her Barbie dolls growing up... Loved the edition of Barbie and Ken. However, I do wish Ken could have been more of a man's man. That's how I think of Ken. I know Barbie was in the other movies, but she took on a bigger role this time around.

And then, there's the ending of Toy Story 3... when Andy gives away his most beloved toys, including Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and others... well, like most children and adults who viewed this, I thought it was sweet, yet, somewhat sad. I know Andy has a younger sister - I just don't understand why he couldn't finally give them to her to play with them. Or, he could have kept them for his own children, someday.

It will be interesting to see where this movie leads our most beloved characters. I love Tim Allen's portrayel of Buzz Lightyear. Woody, however, is my favorite character, and I would love for him to re-unite with Little Bo Peep!

Tim Allen, a favorite Santa, Tool Man, & Toy Story Character, returns to TV !

Home Improvement: 20th Anniversary Complete Collection
I have always liked Tim Allen as... Tim "the Tool Man" Taylor in the popular family sitcom Home Improvement. It was a great show on ABC from 1991 to 1999! My, it was a major part of our 90's - airing for eight seasons.

By the way, for the first time - All 8 Seasons of Home Improvement are available on DVD in 1 Collection! (Yeah! I know all the Tool Men in my family will be excited by that.) Plus, the collection, pictured to the right, comes in a very cool Toolbox Design! (click on pic or here for details!)

Tim has also been a very popular Santa Claus - playing Santa - Scott Calvin in all three Santa Clause Movies.... 1,2, & 3! I love them all - but the first is still my favorite!

And, of course, he is the ever popular voice of Buzz Lightyear in all three Toy Story Movies!

Now, Tim Allen returns to TV - to his original Home Improvement Network - ABC, in a new comedy sitcom titled: Last Man Standing.




Here are some details from the official site:

Last Man Standing -

Today it's a woman's world, and this man's man is on a mission to get men back to their rightful place in society.

Tim Allen returns to ABC in this new comedy from Jack Burditt (30 Rock). Men may have built civilizations, invented the locomotive and created ESPN, but they're about to find out that it's not a man's world anymore. You can't get manlier than Mike Baxter. He's the marketing director for an iconic outdoor sporting goods store, he loves to have adventures while he's traveling for work and, of course, he drives a pick-up truck. While Mike is king of the hill at work, he's the odd man out in a home that is dominated by women -- namely his wife, Vanessa, and their three daughters, 22- year-old Kristin, 17-year-old Mandy and 14-year-old Eve. After being a stay-at-home mom for years, Vanessa recently returned to the workplace and was quickly promoted (much to the dismay of her primarily male co-workers). As a result of Vanessa's increased work load, Mike is pulled into more hands-on parenting than ever before.



CAST:
  • Tim Allen as Tim
  • Nancy Travis as Vanessa
  • Molly Ephraim as Mandy
  • Alexandra Krosney as Kristin
  • Kaitlyn Dever as Eve
  • Hector Elizondo as Ed

I'm hoping this will be a great new family sitcom, because along with good male 'fatherly' role models on TV, family sitcoms seem to be nearly extinct!

I like the overall concept of the show, too - I think it's great to have a good Father Figure and a Man who is a Strong Manly 'Truck Driving' sort of Man! Makes me kind of want to do a Tool Man Grunt... "ARGH ARGH ARGH!"

*Last Man Standing Premieres on ABC in the Fall of this year, 2011.

Congrats to Toy Story 3 - Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Barbie, etc... Plus, News on the Next Toy Story Production!






It's amazing to me that a family movie, Toy Story 3, which is rated "G", was actually nominated for several Oscars, and in the Best Picture category, too! Wow! Unfortunately, Toy Story 3 didn't win in that category - it wasn't expected to. Instead, The King's Speech won - and while I like the actor, Colin Firth, forever Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice, 1995), I do not approve of Rated R movies, and in this case, it includes extreme profanity. I wanted to be sure you were all aware of this. I would love to see, in the future, a non-animated family film be nominated, though I 'm sure it will not be likely. If filmgoers chose these awards, instead of filmmakers, then I'm certain the nominess and results would be altogether very different!


TOY STORY 3 WON:


Best Animation



and...


Best Song
~ Randy Newman’s We Belong Together

Toy Story 3 [+Digital Booklet]





















News on the Next...
Toy Story Production:

The next production will be an "Animation Short" with many of the original Toy Story characters we know and love! 
The short is set to air before the Disney/Pixar movie “Cars 2″ in theaters, when it arrives on June 24, 2011.

The image below was shared by “Toy Story 3″ director, Lee Unkrich, who posted this scene image on his Twitter account, to share with fans, an image preview from the upcoming “Toy Story” short “Hawaiian Vacation.”
