If you aren't certain which movies these are, you can buy my encyclopedia Tis the Season TV, or you can ask me. Don't forget: I'm also on facebook--that may be the fastest way to get my attention: facebook link for Christmas TV History. I'm super psyched about three of these movies in particular: 2000's The Christmas Secret with actor Richard Thomas, 1995's Ebbie with Susan Lucci, and the 1996's The Christmas Tree, as this is difficult to find on TV. The schedule is as follows:

The past couple of years, I have gotten more and more into the cheesy, heartwarming, or just plain sweet Christmas movies. And that is in addition to the Christmas TV specials. Going to be a great two months! One movie I missed last year that I hope to catch this year is A Very Brady Christmas. Just love that schmaltzy film!
ReplyDeleteI love it too. But I didn't see "A Very Brady Christmas" on any of the line-ups last year. :( I hope it comes back this year!
