In exactly six months we will be opening Christmas presents, spending time with loved ones, watching holiday movies, munching on jolly treats and watching festive movies because it will be Christmas Day!  Why wait until December to get in the spirit though? Spend this halfway point, otherwise known as ‘Halfmas’, by blasting your holiday music playlist or popping in a DVD of your favorite Christmas movie. No matter how you celebrate today, I hope it’s filled with joy!

Stay merry!

Merry ‘Little Christmas’!!!! I still have my decorations up, so I’ll be taking some time out today to enjoy a Christmas movie with a big mug of peppermint hot cocoa. I hope all of you that observe Little Christmas will find a way to celebrate the season a bit today… even though we’re no longer on ‘holiday time’ in the work field, school etc.

On another note, my thoughts and prayers are with all of those in Fort Lauderdale affected by the horrific shooting that took place at an airport today. This violence needs to end.

Stay Merry,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I wanted to send you all a wish for a happy 2017 before you head out (or stay in) for tonight’s festivities — whether you’re in Times Square, attending a party or watching the ball drop at home, I hope you have a great and safe night.

Cheers to new beginnings, good health, lots of love and much success in the coming year! We’ll only be 10 months away from the start of the Christmas season (and even less until Christmas in July!), so remember to #STAYMERRY!

It’s here! It’s finally here!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I hope you have the most joyous holiday with your nearest & dearest!

Stay Merry,

NBC is gearing up to deck the halls with their annual holiday programming! The iconic network will begin their festive schedule with the annual “Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade”, which will then be followed by specials such as “Christmas in Rockefeller Center”, “Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love” (the follow-up to last year’s “Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors”), “Hairspray Live!” starring Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande & Derek Hough, “A Pentatonix Christmas” and “Michael Bublé Sings and Swings”!

NBC will also air a special holiday episode of their hit new series “This Is Us”, rebroadcasts of “Elf: Buddy’s Musical Christmas” and “How Murray Saved Christmas”, and on Christmas Eve you can watch the holiday classic “It’s A Wonderful Life”. All of this will lead up to the grand finale to their festive line-up with “New Year’s Eve with Seth Meyers and Carson Daly” on December 31st.

You can check out the full schedule – complete with airtimes, below!

Christmas is coming! You know what that means…FREEFORM’S 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS!

For its first holiday season under its new network name (formerly known as ABC Family), Freeform will begin their seasonal programming on December 1st with a jam-packed line-up of holiday favorites! Among the movies included are: “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”, “The Santa Clause”, “Elf”, “The Polar Express”, “The Holiday”, “Arthur Christmas”, and “Richie Rich’s Christmas Wish”, original movies “The Mistle-Tones”, “Holiday in Hand-Cuffs”, “Christmas Cupid”, “12 Dates of Christmas”, and Freeform’s premiere of “Holiday Joy” starring Bailee Madison.

What I really like about this line-up is that there’s more Christmas movies than usually featured in the past; I like the “Harry Potter” movies as much as the next gal, but I feel like they’re better suited for the 13 Nights of Halloween line-up, or even the Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas. That being said, I miss the days of having a lot of original new movies to look forward to and I wish there was more variety in the primetime airings this year.

If you’re looking for a lot of variety, make sure you tune in during the early morning hours or afternoon.
