Yet another round of Christmas Movies

As you all know now I have a slight obsession with Christmas Movies, I love them they always make me see the good in people and put cheer in my heart.  I'm trying to show case some brand new and some I haven't seen before and haven't posted about in past years.  My favorite channels are Hallmark, Lifetime and GMC.  You can catch one almost any time of the day and thankfully most run a few times :).  So set your DVR's and here we go!

Baby's First Christmas | Hallmark Channel - This was a cute movie about a baby of course to be born on Christmas.  There is a contest, a scrooge type and of course to throw in the sides at times loss of jobs and loosing of a house.  And of course the miracle of people who reach out and help all.  I really liked this one and not one I've seen before.


The Merry In-Laws - Lifetime - Talk about tink me pink, almost like a Cheer's reunion!  Ok for you who don't know do you live under a rock .. lol.  Cheer's was one of my favorite shows you just had to love Norm and well Diane always drove me nuts but hey it was super cute to see them together.  A fun movie about the rational thinkers who don't believe oh yes a fun movie!



Christmas With Holly - Hallmark - Oh this movie will make you a little teary but it will touch your heart.  To have amazing family that would step in and care for your child if God Forbid something happens to you.  A very touching story!


The Real StNick - Lifetime - This will make you laugh and you will fall in love with St. Nick who some may think is a nut but you will come to find out there is a deeper story there!



Christmas Town – gmc -What happens when we just need to have a little faith and believe.  What a cute story of a busy single mom who may need just a little bit of Christmas cheer.  Her father moves to a town all about Christmas.  Very cute movie, with a reminder to sometimes slow down.


The Secret Of Giving - watchgmctv.com – gmc  - Now I'm not a big fan of westerns or movies anything like it. BUT I do like Reba and I think her voice is very beautiful so I just had to watch this movie.  It had some shoot them up and bad guys but it always had a love and Christmas spirit that touched the heart.



The Perfect Holiday - Lifetime - This is a twist on the ones we've seen before with a Christmas Angel that is maybe pulling some strings to bring those together.  A fun movie, maybe not one I would want to watch again but it had a good meaning behind it.

Hope you all have a wonderful Weekend and maybe find a movie to watch with the family.

More Christmas Movies to Enjoy!

It's that time of the week again a list of the Christmas movies I watched over the week and had to share with you my friends.  Remember the best channels to check out this time of year are Lifetime, Hallmark and my NEW favorite GMC.

 
Will You Merry Me? - myLifetime.com - This was so cute and a great way to see the merging of two different cultures for the holiday.  Plus it had two of my favorite actresses playing the moms.  It's so true we may fight but we are family :).


Come Dance with Me | Hallmark Channel - We have seen a version of this movie before but you will love the Holiday twist to it.  Plus I just love Andrew McCarthy (so love my 80's movies).  Money may bring you things but happiness may be lead to you in a different direction.


Kid Who Loved Christmas - gmc TV -Talk about an all Star cast you have Sammy Davis Jr., Vanessa Williams even there for a short period.  A great story about an orphan being adopted by a man who just lost his wife and the trials and tribulations he goes threw to get him.  And even a Christmas miracle.

Holly's Holiday - Lifetime - A girl learns that maybe Mr. Perfect isn't so perfect and what we may need is right in front of us.  A super cute movie.


Help for the Holidays | Hallmark Channel - Can a elf restore Christmas to a family that has lost the spirit?  What a cute movie and you get to see Eva La Rue (since they cancelled my CSI Miami with out a finally it was nice to see her again).  And even a touch of romance.


All About Christmas Eve - myLifetime.com - What a moment can do, it really can change the way your life can go.  A great movie of two paths that could be and finding oneself. 



Christmas Song | Hallmark Channel - Almost in a Glee style fashion is this Christmas movie lot's of singing and some love stories of course.  Very cute movie!


The Christmas Secret - Hallmark Channel - What a  cute movie about a man who wants to prove reindeer fly.  Along the way he finds out the true meaning of Christmas and the love of family.

I hope you enjoy them and may find one or more you would like to enjoy!!

Another week of Christmas Movies ...

I have more Christmas Movies that I have to share with you all!  I hope you find one you may want to watch or one you never heard about!



Love at the Christmas Table (Lifetime) - This was an ok movie, Usually you know me I love all Christmas movies but this one kind of dragged on in parts.  About a boy and a girl that come together every Christmas.  If your a The Wonder Years Fan you'll love this has the actress that played Winnie Cooper.  If you have spare time and want a holiday movie it could be your answer :).


Hitched for the Holiday's (Hallmark) - I'm a sucker for Joey Lawrence and he was cute in this movie.  We've seen this theme before but it was a cute movie about not being lonely at the holidays plus the pressure of family and with someone for the holidays.



The Heart of Christmas - gmc TV - I'm so loving this new channel I found if you can get it I suggest you do!  It made me cry and really shows you the true meaning of faith.  It was nice to see this mom who blogged about her sick child that touched so many lives.  This is a true story. It may be hard for some to watch, but I truly found it to be a movie that was moving and heartfelt.  My heart goes out to families with sick children and my prayers are always with them.  If you can give to St. Jude's Hospital, they help so many!

 
A Bride for Christmas | Hallmark Channel - This was a cute movie with a theme we have seen before with a bet about a girl.  But it all turns out to be the right move all.  Very cute movie!

Christmas with a Capital C gmc TV  - This is a GREAT movie about the true meaning of Christmas! The movie is from a great Christian song from the same title.  On my NEW favorite station GMC, check it out if you have not yet!! What we make it and how we treat others.  I like a moment in their where the pastor talks about statues being like idols instead of what they are meant to be.  It was heartfelt and a real tear jerk-er   Just remember you may not always know what is going on with others around you!

Miracle of the Cards | gmc TV - This True story brought me to tears about a little boy with a brain tumor I think I even remember this chain letter to send letters for him to break the Guinness world record.  What a great story of faith and the motivation of a mother to bring strength to her son!

Finding MrsClaus - Lifetime -  This was a funny take on Mrs. Claus feels a little left out she hits Las Vegas to help a little girl find a husband for her mom.  It has some cute moments and a story I haven't seen before.  It won't make you cry but it will make you laugh.

Christmas Snow | gmc – uplifting ... - Now this is a tear Jerk-er towards the end.  The scrooge Chief gets a special guest who turns out to be a special angel sent to her to make things right in her life.  Great life lessons and making the best of life and learning the meaning of Christmas.

Christmas Box |  gmc TV - A movie that leads a family that is being torn apart by putting business before family.  Moving in with a elderly woman that teaches them that they need to be more about family.  Along the way she teaches the all business day to slow down and the true meaning of Christmas.  Yes you may cry a little at this one.

Jingle and Bell's Christmas Star | Hallmark Channel - And one last one for the kids!  If you have been seeing the Hallmark ads for their book with Jingle who barks during the book you will know this little guy Jingle.  The boys really enjoyed this one.  I'm not much one for animated animals all the time but this sure was cute!

Hope you find a movie you may not have seen yet and snuggle up and enjoy it!  Have some hot chocolate for me (still on my diet and can't have it) and maybe a few yummy treats!  Have a great weekend!!

It's a Load of Christmas Movies

Over the Thanksgiving Break I loaded up my DVR with all the new Christmas Movies!  You know me and how much I love them!   I found a few great ones and a few that were good for that one viewing ... lol.  So hang on there were a lot of new ones this last week.

Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade (Hallmark Channel)- This is a cute movie with a charm to it that made me smile.  It of course is a similar story we have seen before about a boy and girl falling in love but it was a sweet movie!

It's Christmas, Carol! (Hallmark Channel) - Another take on Charles Dicken's Christmas Carol but they did switch it up with only one ghost visiting and taking her threw the 3 stages.  Plus for you Star Wars Fan it's Carrie Fisher (who even makes a Star Wars Joke if you catch it!). 

Holiday High School Reunion (Lifetime Channel) - We have seen this story line before it reminded me a lot like 16 Candles goes back to High School.  But in this one the lovable Ducky may just get the girl in the end (ok he is not as dorky but this is him in a grown up role).  It was a cute movie even with the random singing acts that did get a little annoying but overall it was cute (and if you're a Glee fan you won't mind the singing).

Holiday Spin (Lifetime Channel) - This was a new twist on a Christmas story it was about dance and a failing dance studio.  It was cute probably not one I'd watch again but cute, plus if you're a Kirate Kid fan you'll enjoy seeing Ralph Macchio :).

The Christmas Blessing (Lifetime Channel) - I missed this one before and was glad to catch it this year.  If you read the great book A Christmas Miracle or heck even heard the song you'll love this movie.  The Christmas Miracle was about a little boy who wanted to buy Christmas Shoes for his mom who is going to see God on Christmas day.  This movie is the follow up when the little boy is all grown up.  Very cute movie!

Matchmaker Santa (Hallmark Channel) - A movie after my heart about a baker :).  It is a story we've seen before about a boy and a girl falling in love, but this one has Santa as a helper :).  It was a cute movie, the end was a little odd but still a cute movie.

The March Sisters at Christmas (Lifetime Movie) - If you're a fan of the book Little Woman you will like the modern twist of them at Christmas.  4 very strong willed sisters take on the project of repairing their parents falling apart house.  

Naughty or Nice (Hallmark Movie) - To have the power of Santa's book, but just remember their are two sides to every coin or story.  Hilarie Burton was my fav in One Tree Hill & now on White Collar.  This was a cute story about Krissy Kringle who lives on Candy Cane Lane and learns that we may all have a little naughty but nice also.
 

The Wishing Tree (Hallmark Movie) - Where the underdog becomes to shine and the bad boy just may be a misguided teen looking for love.  A tree where wishes are put and hopefully be answered.

Christmas Angel (GMC Network) - I found a new station for Christmas movies on GMC a Christian based network.  This movie was so one of my favs, it even had some of my favorite characters from the Touched by an Angel series.  About an abandoned house that kids believe if you break glass your wish will come true.  

Holy smokes that was a lot of movies!  They helped me pass the time while wrapping presents and some cozy time with the boys.  Hope you find a movie you would like!  Happy Holidays!!

Must Watch Thursday ... Ok a Whole bunch of TV (is a LONG list)

It's been a while since I've posted some must watch stuff, so here is all the TV that is a must add to your DVR.

As I said last year this has become one of my all time favorite shows (Thank you Rick for watching 90210 and leaving it on this channel). This show has evolved and added new characters and a new dimension to her time travel back in time to fix her regrets.

Erica Strange is 32 years old, perpetually single, and stuck in a series of dead-end jobs. But she's been given an amazing gift: the opportunity to relive regrets from her past, enabling her to change the present. Guided by the mysterious Dr. Tom, she weaves through present and past, realizing she needs to take control of her own destiny.
For you who are like me and don't have paid channels it's great when our shows come to DVD or even better regular channels. Check out E for all the episodes you missed.

Four beautiful female New Yorkers gossip about their sex-lives (or lack thereof) and find new ways to deal with being a woman in the 90's.
I've watched a few episodes it's getting better the first one was just ok. Melissa Peterman played such a great role on Reba that I think you're expecting that she'll be the same. She's funny in this but some of the jokes fall a little short. I'll give it a few more tries before kicking it off my DVR list :).
First off must say how much we miss Rue McClanahan and she is just too cute in this movie. Sometimes you can go back home and stay. What a cute movie that as always you know what will happen but as I say you'll enjoy it.

A woman returns home to her rural hometown after many years to find mysteries of her past, old loves, and promising new beginnings. Stars Lisa Hartman-Black, Rue McClanahan and Dale Midkiff.
I got married in my parents backyard so this of course caught my eye and I just had to watch it. My parents even have a feud with a neighbor it must be the thing to do. You will laugh and the happy ending is of course what you will think will happen but you love it.

Bride-to-be Kim Tyler is about to find out that getting to the altar is a long journey, even when it's in her own backyard. Kim grew up loving her next-door neighbor, Evan Slauson. Now she's all set to have the wedding of her dreams to stable Jeffrey in her parents' backyard, but her ex-husband, and first love -- whose parents still live next door -- keeps popping up causing her to seriously question her big plans. Stars Alicia Witt, Frances Fisher and Markie Post.
Yet another stumble upon movie that was a great one about a single mom who has a child that is sick a lot making it hard for her to keep a job down. She becomes a school project for a Rich boy who never thought of anyone but himself.

Preppy and wealthy Whitt Sheffield (Justin Bruening) is in his last semester of law school at Morgan College when his radical-thinking professor, Victoria Corrales (Constance Marie), gives his class a very different kind of assignment: to act as a mentor and advocate for a young, single mother who needs help finding-and keeping-a job. Whitt, whose snooty father, Benjamin (Eric Roberts), wants Whitt to follow him into corporate law, is insulted by the low-class assignment, especially after he meets Kylie Burch (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe), the woman he has to help. Given their extreme opposite backgrounds, Kylie and Whitt clash at first, and it looks like Whitt will never be able to help her if he doesn't understand her situation.
Another one I stumbled across this movie and just had to watch it. Shannen has been my girl since Little House on the Prairie and she's had her ups and downs but I've always liked her acting (I guess it's her other time that she has problems with). What would you do if you were left a farm and had to keep up the legacy?

Radio DJ Emma Silver (Shannen Doherty) leads a chic city life in Seattle until she finds out her beloved grandfather has died. Traveling to his farm in quaint Valleyville, Washington to take care of the details, she is stunned to learn her grandfather has left her his farm, along with a sizable amount of debt. To keep the bank from foreclosing, Emma must find a way to raise the money, or face seeing her grandfather’s precious land end up as a parking lot. Following her grandfather’s famed legacy, Emma decides to enter Valleyville’s annual pumpkin growing contest with his prized seeds and grow the world-record biggest gourd. If she can win the grand prize of $50,000, she can save the farm.


Jane Seymour plays the spunky Prudence kind of like a Martha Stewart with a extra nice spunk. This movie made you laugh so much and you just have to love the cast. Plus seeing Jane and her daughter together was super cute.

In this sequel to "Dear Prudence," Prudence MacIntyre is asked to make changes to her successful television show when the network sends in new producers to revamp her image. To her surprise, one of the producers is an old flame, and the other is a seedy womanizer who enchants Prudence's daughter.
Can a frog really turn into a prince if kissed? Well we dive into that with this super cute movie that makes you just love love the characters and the plot that unfolds infront of you. And of course Kellie Martin is a favorite from my all time favorite show Life Goes On (If you haven't seen that show you so missed out!)

Percy is a prince engaged to a woman he doesn't love. When he gets amnesia and is taken in by Zoe, a young girl who loves romantic fairytales, Zoe convinces him that he is frog-turned-prince that she rescued. Percy becomes a nanny to Zoe, and as he develops a friendship with her and falls in love with her mother Gwen, discovering that love is the magic ingredient needed to make any relationship special.
Oh goodness I don't know what I would be doing if I ever had to go threw what this poor lady had to endure. Of course a true story that will ripe your heart out. We all would go to the ends of the earth for our child and God sent this woman an angel in Terry O'Quinn's character that may not have been on board in the beginning but was a big help in the end.

“Taken From Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story” is based on a dramatic true story of Tiffany Rubin’s (Taraji P. Henson) daring 2008 rescue of her seven-year-old son, Kobe, after he was abducted by his biological father and taken from his home in Queens, New York, all the way to Seoul, South Korea. At the urging of her mother Belzora (Beverly Todd), Tiffany sought the counsel of Mark Miller (Terry O’Quinn) and his charitable organization, The American Association for Lost Children. With Mark’s help, Tiffany was able to travel to Korea to execute a high-stakes plan to bring her son home.
I don't believe I saw the Note I but I happen to leave my tv on Hallmark and caught this movie and really enjoyed it. It is so like life we make choices in our life and sometimes we can right them sometimes we just learn from them. A very touching movie and I'll be on the look out for the first one.

Having been reunited with Christine, the daughter she gave up for adoption 18 years earlier, Peyton MacGruder (Francis) is still learning the ropes of parenting. She’s also busy writing her “Heart Healer” column, as well as managing a relationship with coworker and boyfriend King Danville (McGinley). But when King asks Peyton to marry him, she’s too afraid to take a chance at a life she deserves. A note to Peyton from a loyal reader of her column leads to a new friendship, one that will teach Peyton that when it comes to making decisions, there’s a time to be cautious and a time to follow your heart.
Ok first off anything with Betty White I'm so on it!!! Betty is an amazing actress and only touched on it with Rose (and for us who love her as Sue Ann in The Mary Tyler Moore show) she's the best. Now Jennifer Love Hewitt was not my fav back in the party of 5 days but then she was the Ghost Whisper and won my heart over. This movie is just so touching! It has a happy ending but not the mushy TV kind we're so use to it has the ending that real life would deal us. A great nod to the wonderful people who serve our country!

During World War II, Navy Lt. Neil Thomas bids Caroline, his pregnant young wife, farewell at Union Station. Before their son is born, Neil’s plane goes down in the Pacific and he’s declared MIA.

Caroline is devastated, but her love never dies. And for the next 65 years, Caroline (Betty White) returns to Union Station on the anniversary of her loss to salute his memory. When a TV journalist (Jennifer Love Hewitt) learns of the touching story, she sets out to investigate what happened to Neil 65 years earlier. Caroline’s grandson encourages Caroline to cooperate, and soon the reporter and young man fall in love.
We all do it make a list of things we want in life, in the people around us and just life in general. People don't always live up to our "must have list", but you may never know what is right around the corner and what you could be missing. :)

Sarah Fisher, an overly organized, by-the-numbers kind of woman, makes a "wish list" of all the qualities and traits her future husband should have. After finding the perfect man, she falls for a guy who meets none of her criteria and discovers that life and love don't always work out according to the master plan. Stars Jennifer Esposito and David Sutcliffe.
For love of Wine and well love ... LOL :). And well heck you have Elliot Gould who is super funny! And heck with a celebrity chief that cute I'd fall for him too! You know what would happen but it was a good movie.

Johnetta ‘Johnny’ Prentice (Julie Benz), the CFO for a major corporation, has allowed her work to take over her life, quite similar to her business-obsessed boyfriend Christopher. Johnny’s company sends her to a conference in California wine country, where it will be up to her to seal the deal with an important investor. When her plans are suddenly up in the air, she meets world-famous chef Andrew Browning (Scott Elrod) and his adorable son and parents, Sophia (JoBeth Williams) and Paul (Elliott Gould), owners of a local winery. With an unexpectedly free schedule, Johnny explores a world outside her high-powered profession, and discovers a passion that isn’t just centered around earning a paycheck.
You know my love of Hallmark Channel, I stumbled across this movie that was very touching and for us dog lovers you'll love this movie. It had it's moments but overall a good movie.

After her mother's death, Lisa Rayborn (Natasha Henstridge) returns to her hometown and family farm. There she finds new purpose when she adopts a puppy at the local shelter and begins training the dog as a herder. When a group of children go missing, the dog will be tested in ways Lisa could never have imagined. Stars Natasha Henstridge and Harry Hamlin.
